Yes, but he could also be playing the more complex version of subterfuge and intentionally left one of the random stories untouched as a red herring. 🤔

This got more and more complicated after I turned the light off and went to sleep (the canine snoring stopped, finally).   😧

@Jeff Burton wrote The Reunion.

Your all very clever,  really! I'd read one and think @northie, then another and go... maybe this one.  Then another and oh!  @Mark Arbour, but 2 later.. hummm. And so it goes.  Will wait for the results and see if I can pick you all @Topher Lydon, your very difficult to pin down!!

I never write a story with less than 5000 words.   I tell myself I’m just loquacious, but there’s probably a different term for it.  😃

Oh, it's just @chris191070 being a chef - cooking up a goulash of stories and authors!

Well it is a mystery, I do have a taste for the amusingly witty. But I still think @Jeff Burton has me beat for comedy

Yeah but that's actually good. I've read book I like 3 times already. I actually need to go back and pop reviews on the entire series.

Lo, do we worship upon the alter of the Reverant and holiest of beans, we submit our sacrifices unto thee of water and grounds that you might bless us with the juice most caffinated. 

And forgive them their sins of Tea... and Cocoa... they do not know better.

And blessed be the Temple of Tim Hortons, built to be worshipped in on every street corner in Canada by hockey dad's up at the most ungodly of hours ferrying their sprogs to peewee practice.

In this we are one, under the watchful eyes of our true trinity Bobby Orr, Gordie Howe, and Gretsky.

Ahh-choo.
 

There's a Tims on every corner here too.  I stop at one every morning for brekkie.  Unfortunately, I can't drink coffee anymore (yeah yeah, blasphemy and all that), but they do make a good unsweetened iced tea.  #teamtea

@lawfulneutralmage now you've done it. He pulled out the big guns. The Canadian Prayer of Ascension, we're all doomed.

Up at the Crack of dawn, and I wonder if Valkyrie was behind Family Secret, Liminal, or Carpe Veritas.
