Indianapolis #Colts owner Jim Irsay was asked about fully-guaranteed contracts and the #NFL: “As an owner, I do not believe in fully-guaranteed contracts. I think that a percentage is one thing, but from what I’ve seen from the NBA and baseball, I don’t see it as a positive competitively.”

In a hundred years Agatha Christie will still be widely read and you’ll be on a syllabus for a grad course no one wants to take
Agatha Christie is not revered as a stylist, nor as a writer reflecting sociological realism; rather, her plots are clever & usually provide some sort of "twist." changing her language will hardly matter as it would in a more literary writer (Twain, Faulkner).

It is with profound sadness that we mourn the loss of our friend and mentor, @aloria. Kelly had an indomitable spirit, and our world is a bit darker without her.
