    Eddie knew Bryce wasn’t about to give up the register, even before they hustled him aboard the Range Rover. It was worth an effort though. Dealing with Eddie was easier than dealing with Kurtz—they both knew that. Eddie still liked this man—Bryce was a survivor. He had told the truth when he promised to ask Colonel Kurtz to let Bryce go unharmed. Finally, the conversation suffered a slow death.Outside, the darkness deepened by degrees.

    I am currently reading a fabulous book entitled Perfect Eloquence. Subtitled, An Appreciation of Vin Scully. Scully is probably the greatest broadcaster to ever pick up a microphone.
