We're continuing our series in first, John. And gotta have the book plug. You can see it there at the bottom left of the screen. Thank you for that.

And so he had an outfit for Halloween. I didn't dig up the picture 'cause it's so embarrassing, but you should check on Facebook, I think it's there. Waldo's fun because you're always looking to try and find the little man, the striped shirt and glasses. But it's difficult because the artist surrounds Waldo
