The Glass Key Dashell Hammett

I'm going to escape into a Hammett whodunit. I wanted Maltese Falcon but alas all three copies are checked out of the library. Maybe next time I'll get that one.

We just watched Cheaper by the Dozen the Clifton Webb Myrna Loy version. We have watched in two days in a row. It is so good. It reminds me of bye gone days. I am too young to remember these days. My dad was a bit like this dad. This was telling of a time before the Great Depression told at a time just after it was over.

I guess the bare bones of it are true. These two efficiency engineers really did exist. The movie is based on a book written by two of the twelve children two remembering parts of their childhood and wanting to immortalize their loving parents.

Perhaps I should see if I can find that book. I am told by JB that it is still available in print. One can buy it at Barnes and Noble where a copy or two is always in stock.
