Sorry friends and followers. The last three weeks have been busy, wife and kid had heath issues rear their ugly heads and my passenger side window on the vehicle shattered from the heat.   So, we are still here, we are still chugging away and the 'Sign of Ninazu' will be wrapping up shortly.   Thank you for your patience.   Part One Another roadside distraction. Part Two How to annoy a librarian without really trying. Part Three The old switcheroo. Part Four The house that follows. Part Five The obligatory voicemail installment. Part SixTwizzlers and beer. Part SevenEverything you know is wrong. Part Eight Mandatory exposition. Part Nine Mr. Croad and me.
