I have way too much time on my hands

[Rob Wick]

Was thinking the other day that instead of trying to write a book on Sandburg's pursuit of Lincoln, maybe I should try something more commercially viable.

I'm thinking maybe of a series of detective novels involving Ida Tarbell and Carl Sandburg as a crime-fighting duo who write about Lincoln in their spare time. Think "Moonlighting" only with a 19th century bent.

As Tarbell is the older of the two, she is the prim and proper Victorian lady who does things the old-fashioned way while Sandburg is the young buck who doesn't follow the rules and often gets himself into trouble by doing so, but in the end, they end up solving the case. Tarbell travels in a horse and carriage while Sandburg has an old Stutz Bearcat.

So, am I on to something, or just on something?

Don't worry, I'll still talk to you all when I'm sitting by my Beverly Hills pool negotiating the movie rights.

Roger, do you think Denise Richards might consider playing Tarbell?

I probably should be getting back to work.

Best
Rob
