Learned to read with my brothers' comic books. Often got chased out of the house by my mom on pretty summer days, but I showed her.... I took my comic books to read outside, usually in a tree somewhere. Today, I have a subscription to a real, 7-days-a-week, locally owned newspaper and the comics page is the first thing I read every morning.

Well… there’s a slight difference. The other guy Claire is having lunch with is a former co-worker she ran into. If what Sammi says is true, then it seems Paul met this woman and asked her out for dinner. If it were lunch with a co-worker from his lab, Claire probably wouldn’t be upset.

It’s not much of a birdhouse either, with the hole at the bottom.

My husband is a violinist and so has always had great interest in Hartley and the rest of the musicians.

They did. First violinist Wallace Hartley was found in the water with his violin case strapped to his back. Very sad. And did you know that the White Star Line sent the musicians’ families a bill for their uniforms after the sinking? Horrible! There was such an outcry over how badly they were treated, there was a benefit concert held in England for all the ship musicians, and it was at the time, the largest such concert ever held.

Erin is a college student, so she might be 19 or 20. And she seems a responsible kid, so all should be ok. Not sure where the whole arc is going… Maybe just to answer the “did they leave Ludwig alone for 3 weeks?” questions.

Check out editorial cartoonist @ClayBennett on the subject today!

It’s an excellent version that covers much more of the book than the Richard Chamberlain series did. There are some changes from the book, but whatever they are seems to help the story.

I still wash my hands more than before and we keep sanitizer in the car and use it whenever we come out of a store.

So is this the real start of their moving to the coast plan?

She is a low life. One social media post would have turned up lots of options for re-homing the dog to a family that didn’t want a hunting dog. The dog just needed proper training. That said, I hope Dump keeps her on as she is driving away even conservative voters.
