In the meantime I have been keeping my reading list up to date. With all the efforts I'm putting into other things - crafts, homemaking, taxes (ugh) and now Thanksgiving preparations - I find I'm less inclined to read non-fiction and want a bit of fluff to lighten my thoughts before dropping off to sleep. This means trips to the library where I've been picking up some of Sue Grafton's work. I've read most of hers, but so long ago I no longer remember the plots.
It crossed my mind that she's given us a new phonetic alphabet. Instead of Alpha, Bravo, Charlie (which previously in Britain were Able, Baker, Charlie) we could use Alibi, Burglar, Corpse, etc. I would hear Bill telling our post code as Noose-Evidence instead of November-Echo.
Wouldn't that be fun?

I must say I quite like the idea of a new phonetic alphabet as I struggle to think of the "right" phonetics for phone calls now :) I've not picked up any of SG's books but that might be a fun new read.
