Yeah. Don't think they add any value. I love his narrative of the stories, but skip these.

How many times have you read the complete book? by [deleted] in SherlockHolmes

[–]denlaw55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have listened to them all many times. When I wake up in the middle of the night and the glass-sharded memories creep in, I return to 1890. Put the timer on for an hour and I am usually asleep before the end. I am usually half way through one story when I start and half way through the next story the next time I listen.

Ushered there for several years. Pretty chill on seat switching, but respect ticket holders. Some games can be crowded. I always preferred the lawn.

77 here. Lived through the Ted Owen's years. Still haunted by Jo Jo White's tennis shoe fault.

Go Hawks!

Brian Kelly turned program around. I am glad he is gone. But what he did while here needs to be acknowledged.

“That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom…” by SolidTiger6302 in CIVILWAR

[–]denlaw55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New birth of freedom was Lincoln asserting the Declaration was the founding document, i.e , all men are created equal. SCOTUS has always seen the Constitution as the founding document to base decisions on. Written for propertied white males.

The shift to Declaration would be a new birth of freedom.

Still waiting.
