I received a fine Jazz guitar for my birthday ("When I get older, losing my hair[oh1 done deal]). I haven't really played in 30 years and been spending a good part of my reading time practicing and learning a new skill, to sight read at least simple music notation. Gotta keep those remaining brain cell humming.

Anyway "By Valour and Arms" is nearing the end. I know that the final battle of Vicksburg is on the horizon. The fictional characters are lining up for some personal conflict and struggle.

When I finish this book I will probable start a children's book by Paul Galico (he wrote the Poseidon Adventure) called The Abandoned. And this summer I will jump right into the 3rd book of the Last Policeman. Maia is coming AIIIIAAAIIIII!!!!
