Did you ever have the desire to listen in on someone’s conversation? If so, here is your chance to listen in on some of mine.

HARRY. He is a fellow writer who enjoys a nice lifestyle with homes in Montreal and Florida. While his wife is active and computer savvy, Harry is more the stay-at-home type and does not use a computer. A voracious reader, he visits bookstores and libraries to read up on topics ranging from outer space to classical music. We have fun discussing these and more up-to-date topics during our frequent conversations.
