  • While talking about hibachis, I also mentioned charcoal briquettes. 
  • At some point I was talking about an imaginary superhero scale… with Superman one end of the scale and Clark Kent on the other… and Jimmy Olsen well below that.

Music

Ever since I watched The Sting as a child, I have loved Ragtime music. However, I am not a musician, composer, or even a particularly knowledgeable fan of music. I enjoy what I enjoy and that includes many different genres of music. However, Ragtime is the soundtrack for the era I am simulating and this may the first time that modern listeners may be exposed to it. So I am including some general Ragtime links and whatever information I can find on the particular tracks I used in this episode.
