Monday, January 9, 2012. Leave your guns at home, kids. This past holiday season, my Christmas Wish. Was for every gun to turn into a Kiss Gun.

Journey to Taiwan: The Finger Prince
http://johnnyfleck.blogspot.com/2011/09/finger-prince.html
Thursday, September 22, 2011. A "clue" is something that helps the police or a detective solve a case. That's why Sherlock Holmes is always holding a magnifying glass, so he can look for clues. For example, a piece of hair can be a clue. What else might be a clue? The finger's here (motioning towards the tip of the finger). Those are called "fingerprints."
