Just back from 20 hours in a car with Captain Morse. Survived...but I had Morticia as a buffer. Don't know about a trip over the horizon. Over the rainbow, maybe, if Amos and Kendall are willing. As for his neglecting his duties as a curmudgeon, trust me. Kendall is in rare form. Waitresses tremble in fear as he chooses his table and eyes the sound systems with a baleful glare. One dared to mention "company policy" and nearly paid with her life - well, maybe her drink tray and name pin.

Kendall was chosen by Utah Phillips to sing "Ashes On The Sea" in Phillips' CD collection of his life's work.He states that he considers Kendall's voice the best for performing his music. A paraphrase but I bet our Captain can quote him verbatim.

Sometimes, I shake my head in wonder at teh company I keep. Can't ever thank Max enough.
