While at Mom's, after I'd reset her phone system so that it should have better coverage throughout the house,
I did try to read a book called Desert Queen: The Extraordinary Life of Gertrude Bell: Adventurer, Adviser to Kings, Ally of Lawrence of Arabia, about a woman who was featured in some of the special features material that comes with the Young Indiana Jones DVDs, but the verbiage was too flowery for my taste and so, even with my interest, I dumped it. I should go look at Project Gutenberg, though, because she's a published author, and some of her books might be there.
