I am really a tall, blonde haired, blue eyed Swede named Lars.  Just ask Leslie.  She and the NY brokies have met me.   ;)



David, I mean Lars, let me take a picture of him when we met back in June....

So why the hell did Ellery get so irrtated? I don't think the new girl was any worse than Marigold. Perhaps he got way too used to work with incompetent lawyers and now he was a WOMAN who seems to be as smart and competent as he is! He's definitely being challenged first by Dupree and now by a woman.

I should imagine it,s because he,s been under so much stress lately, what with his health and all the fuss with Ennis,s daughters and ex wife. It,s getting to him and he,s getting snappy and impatient with everyone. I cant say I thought much to her either. Seemed like a smart arse to me, but thats just MO. We shall see.

Kelda, I am glad you have finally come on board. I have only been waiting since June....LOL

life got on top of my bettermost reading and online time I'm afraid! which is just sad! :laugh:

But natali has sent me the word docs that I can print out and read at my leisure.

say good bye to boring 40min train rides home from work (and suffering the extra delays that are inevitable as winter sets in - some how Britain don't know how to cope with snow or wind and train lines all together) and lunchours surfing the BBC newswebsite and hello to hot ennis and ellery scenes!
