First of all, Birthday Greetings to Raye and Sue :) and thankyou for 
remembering me.

I have been busy with my new job, but that is what is funding lovely 
luxuries like satellite
TV and the Food Channel.  I will finally get to see Iron Chef and see 
what all the fuss
is about :)

I have actually in the last couple of months got two confirmed converts 
to LMB and the
Miles books:

first one is my flatmate, who is slowly reading his way thru  my book 
collection, and he devoured them

second is another friend who I am introducing to the joys of skiffy type 
books - and he LOVES them

quote from him "does anyone else think Miles is both insane and a genius?"

I assured him that it was earnestly debated by many people (thinking of 
the List of course) and that
my personal theory was that if his mad plan worked he was a genius, and 
if not, then of course insane.

I have just handed him the rest of the series starting from Brothers in 
Arms, as that is as far as he had
got.  I look forward to his insights :)

Cheers
Stacey (who is 30 something LOL)
