Just got a KINDLE reading Chris's latest book. I am in love with the KINDLE as per usual Chris's book is excellent. I wish I had some of his talent. You just read a page and are back in old Leeds & riveted. A must buy. Tomorrow in Leeds for a few hours to visit my parents grave. Every Passover I come back to be with my brothers. Sign of the times and mainly Bates's attrition that I made no attempt to fit in any games. We were but are no longer.
