You're quite right, he will gracefully accept whatever the outcome. But I suspect Beauvoir will simply shoot Stone if he wins. So, no need to worry either way.Louise Penny Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316557270587688970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-72056838456313938862010-03-04T12:15:22.280-08:002010-03-04T12:15:22.280-08:00Dear Margaret,

Parker last month, I fear there will be no more. However, having said that, I do know he had several books "in the can" and perhaps we will get to read those at some later time.bfstar@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-35159002291510907312010-03-04T03:45:03.073-08:002010-03-04T03:45:03.073-08:00Who could ever outclass Gamache?

Still, we'll fight the good fight! <br /><br />- ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-3970338681101562762010-03-03T15:34:16.103-08:002010-03-03T15:34:16.103-08:00I guess that link was too long for the space.

Kleenex, please.<br /><br />Leaving behind a thank-you note<br /><br /><br />Brian Williams, anchor and managing editor <br />After tonight's broadcast and after looting our hotel mini-bars, we're going to try to brave the blizzard and fly east to home and hearth, and to do laundry well into next week. Before we leave this thoroughly polite country, the polite thing to do is leave behind a thank-you note.<br /><br />Thank you, Canada:<br /><br />For being such good hosts.<br /><br />For your unfailing courtesy.<br /><br />For your (mostly) beautiful weather.<br /><br />For scheduling no more than 60 percent of your float plane departures at the exact moment when I was trying to say something on television.<br /><br />For not seeming to mind the occasional (or constant) good-natured mimicry of your accents.<br /><br />For your unique TV commercials -- for companies like Tim Hortons -- which made us laugh and cry.<br /><br />For securing this massive event without choking security, and without publicly displaying a single automatic weapon.<br /><br />For having the best garment design and logo-wear of the games -- you've made wearing your name a cool thing to do.<br /><br />For the sportsmanship we saw most of your athletes display.<br /><br />For not honking your horns. I didn't hear one car horn in 15 days -- which also means none of my fellow New Yorkers rented cars while visiting.<br /><br />For making us aware of how many of you have been watching NBC all these years.<br /><br />For having the good taste to have an anchorman named Brian Williams on your CTV network, who turns out to be such a nice guy.<br /><br />For the body scans at the airport which make pat-downs and cavity searches unnecessary.<br /><br />For designing those really cool LED Olympic rings in the harbor, which turned to gold when your athletes won one.<br /><br />For always saying nice things about the United States...when you know we're listening.<br /><br />For sharing Joannie Rochette with us.<br /><br />For reminding some of us we used to be a more civil society.<br /><br />Mostly, for welcoming the world with such ease and making lasting friends with all of us.Margaret J.
