Beady,

Your comment about high school reading just gave me a flashback.

When I was a senior in high school, a very long time ago, the librarian came into our class to survey us about our favorite books. When I told her that mine were Forever Amber and East of Eden, she looked at me over the top of her librarian glasses and said, "My deah, you certainly like spicy literature, don't you."

The snow is flying here today, so I think I will finish up on the Pancho Barnes bio I mentioned above, and then I will search our shelves for an oldie but goodie.

Thanks.
