Nothing to report. Peter is all go packing up. RBB has two grandchildren now.
Peter's been talking about books so ...
I've started listening to a novel about the Roman/Carthage war "Ship of Rome"(John Stack). I downloaded Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer to listen to sometime as well. It's interesting to listen to the classics sometimes. They can be either long winded and boring, or surprisingly interesting. I've also downloaded John Stack's "Captain of Rome" in readiness. The sound files are about 500 MB so it's better to get them at home using the Wifi instead of using up all my data allocation.
So far "Ship of Rome" has been really good. All action and no silly love interest bits!
I got interested in Ancient Rome after listening to an episode of Jimmy Akins Mysterious world about Pontius Pilate HERE. Pontius was his surname and Pilate a nickname probably referring to him being really good at throwing Javelins. He hasn't a first name. Bit like Testore Roberto Catholic Curmudgeon.
Have fun but don't sin.
Pontius was nicknamed Pilate because he was famous for flying in the face of adversity.

I think you meant "fleeing".
ReplyDeleteNo, flying. By all accounts Pontius wasn't a coward.
DeleteHave fun boys, but get your shit right.
ReplyDeleteThe plane was getting ready to take off but one if its tyres was flat.

Pontius Pilate met the guy in charge of making crosses. He said, pointing to him, "This makes me cross."
