Posting on World War I today as part of my salute to Remembrance Day in Canada. It's November 11th. About a battle Canada's forces won and took heavy casualties in.

"Passchendaele - Nov. 7, 1917"

Hope you'll check it out. Comments always most welcome.

On FI, a small rant on the concept of online friends and what it could mean.

And on Bites, Freaky Friday! I think I've posted the last book for this author! Yay.
