Who watched "Night Sins" and what did you think. I think the FT> term "based on the book" took on new meaning. Hello Suzze; I watched it and found myself slightly confused. Didn't read the book, so have nothing to compare it to. Can't say as it was one of the better things I've seen on TV. Thought it rather far fetched. Good acting is about all I can say. FT> I just read "Endless Night" by Agatha Christie. Now that was REALLY FT> different for her! No murder till the very end of the book. No clues. FT> No whodunit. I liked it. I'm going to get back to Agatha Christie one of these days. Haven't read any of her books in years and years. Been missing a lot of good mystery reading. Love the series they do on PBS. By the way, got a very nice message from Kevin Robinson a couple of weeks ago. Guess he's got his hands full trying to get his organization off the ground. Problems with getting the IRS off their keesters and processing paper work. I feel for him, having to even deal with that bunch of Do-nothings. He said he hasn't had time to do anymore with the fourth Stick Foster. Too bad, but he has his priorities. Talk to you later. Dorothy FT> ... Goofus drops carrier. Gallant logs off properly.
