A daily journal of our lives (begun in October 2010), in photos (many taken by my wife, Evie) and words, mostly from our home on Chautauqua Lake, in Western New York, where my wife Evie and I live, after my having retired from teaching English for forty-five years in Hawaii, Turkey, and Ohio. We have three children, seven grandchildren, and one great-grandson, as you will notice if you follow my blog since we often travel to visit them. Photo from our porch taken on 11/03/2024 at 7:07 AM

THE LATE SHOW: MICHAEL CONNELLY
Connelly keeps pouring out detective novels that keep my interest. It started with the Harry Bosch novels in the 1980's. His latest deals with a female cop, Detective Ballard, surfer dudette who is on the outs in her department because she had the 'balls' to accuse her boss of sexual harassment. As a result, she is given 'the late show,' the tour from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM. She ends up unraveling two cases, one the savage beating of a transvestite, the other, a crooked cop. Along the way, she breaks the rules, pisses off other cops but solves the case. A good read.
