Stabbone and McGraw: West Lafayette, Here We Come...

Almost. Actually, Alex and I just reported back to McBone HQ after spending two days in Indiana, where we were house hunting in anticipation of our five-year stay in West Lafayette. By August first we will be comfortably situated here:

This was the first and only house we looked at, a lovely one-storey affair owned by a charming professor who teaches exactly the same class (composition) at Purdue in which Alex will be earning her PhD. A bizarre and fortuitous circumstance; we hit it off at once.

Alex and I extend a special thank you to Kristen Moore, who opened her home to us for two nights, a home replete with red wine and her own special recipe, Barbie-themed cupcakes.

The Legend of Stabbone and McGraw

In 1967 the world's most powerful criminal super-genius, Stabbone, stole ten trillion dollars worth of gold boullion. Police, baffled as to the whereabouts of Stabbone's purported impenetrable underground lair, called on top investigator Rock McGraw to crack the case. Working tirelessly day after day, McGraw eventually tracked Stabbone to an abandoned latex mask factory. While McGraw radioed the boys for backup, Stabbone made his daring escape. In the chaos that ensued, both disappeared. Thirty years later, the case of Stabbone and McGraw remains a mystery, though some say that McGraw remains undercover, in relentless pursuit of his evil arch-nemesis.
