Hi Todd, thanks for doing hosting duties today. My post is up and running - late as usual.
Thanks, Yvette! Got one missed back in July by Bill, as well.
Todd - Thanks for doing the FFB today.
Hey, someday soon I'll start catching up with my own Tuesday roundelay.
Whenever you are ready, Todd, I know it is a labor of love – emphasis on labor. But it is one of my favorite blog features with interesting people posting interesting reviews of film, TV, and more.
Please add my very late (and extremely long) post to the list.
A look at the "Ironsides" Cromwell series by Victor Gunn
Thanks for subbing for Patti. You do it so well as always.
Thanks! for the kind words and advisory. Added in, John.
Elgin, it is, and takes even more time and energy than FFB...alas I've had so little of late. But, soon.
Todd, thanks for filling in for Patti Abbott!
Never less than a pleasure.
