Couple of things


On this pleasant day-after-Thanksgiving Friday, let me hit you with one quick Thanksgiving joke as you enjoy your leftovers.  Courtesy of a signboard outside a local restaurant, here goes:

What side of the turkey has the most feathers?

The outside!

I know, kind of dumb. So how about if I leave you with a quick book tip, too??

The recently-reissued 1970's Hardman thriller series by Ralph Dennis continues to entertain.  I just finished the 6th entry, Murder Is Not An Odd Job, and it was another winner.  Aside from many other assets, the novel has one of the most satisfying "showdown in the wilderness" sequences between the heroes and the villains that I've read in ages.

Check out what I wrote a few posts ago about the first novel in the series, Atlanta Deathwatch, for more information on these highly recommended books.  All novels in the series are available in trade paperback editions or on Kindle.
