Gooooood Morning, Kings, Queens, Jacks, and all numbers of Spades...
*ponders* Somehow, that didn't sound right. Oh, well.
Adding Stringer Davis to the pencil-point tat club.
It's that time of the year when I think about my Uncle Ed, who had just lived through a trudge across Europe, and then was being prepared for the assault upon Japan, where his (and so many soldiers
