BOOK REVIEW: THE THIEF OF VENICE BY JANE LANGTON

For a change of pace, I decided to try a new series to wander the streets of Venice. This was maybe not the right way to meet Homer Kelly, by missing the first 13 stories, but it was a great walk through Venice. It was a little strange, though. On my next try, I'll start at the beginning. See for yourself, but be warned that the characters are quite apt to odd immoral but transient behaviour! Has this series jumped the shark? Let me know!

FRAK : "POLITE" VERSION OF A FOUR LETTER WORD?

Well, I didn't hear it first hand, but while watching a netflix show called Accidentally On Purpose, I learned that Battlestar Galactica had invented the future swear word. It began in the early version, then spelt as "frack", and then revised to be a 4 letter word,  "frak". It might come in handy!
