Greetings All: Been staggering about in the Brick, Mortar and Flesh World, but I thought I'd stop by to say "Hallo" and leave a little bread crumb to my Red Room page where I blog about Peter Straub's American Fantastic Tales, how I read, Turner Classic Movies, a Booksellers convention, the *ridiculous* Wallender series and God knows what else: http://www.redroom.com/member-blog/Thomas%20Burchfield/ Ta-ta and . . . am wondering. Is "Ta" a way of saying "thank you" in your neck of the wood? Per an NY Times crossword puzzle, it is. Cheers, Thomas Burchfield Author of the supernatural thriller Dragon's Ark, due 2011 from Ambler House Author of the comic screenplay Whackers, available at Smashwords.com.

Interesting - and yep, ta is a way of saying thank you. I don't like to write in books either, but reading anthologies I do lightly tick off stories I've read with a pencil on the contents page, if I'm not reading them in order. I never seem to finish anthologies, however good - if I like a story I tend to go off to find other stories and novels by that writer. So for example Songs of the Dying Earth got left by the wayside so I could read Matthew Hughes' Quartet & Triptych. | ||

Just enjoyed reading about the Greatest TV Channel in the World. Orson Welles followed by Ingmar Bergman sounds like my kind of evening. :>). | ||

Thanks Ally and Stephen! I had the impression "ta" was a way of saying good-bye as in "ta-ta for now." |
