Nero Wolfe is a brilliant detective who never leaves his Manhattan home. He has a chef named Fritz and also grows orchids on his rooftop. Archie Goodwin is his right-hand man.

See, this is great writing. Nobody would do this today.

Coincidentally, The Friends of Old Time Radio are holding their very last convention this weekend in Newark, NJ. I always wanted to attend. Guests from Old Time Radio, actors & production crew, are becoming scarce.

Sigh.

I think you’re right. I’m pretty certain Rush has cited Nero Wolfe mysteries on a couple of occasions over the years. As a result I picked up a couple of the Rex Stout books.

There was also a 1981 Nero Wolfe series which ran for only half a season, with Lee Horsley as Archie and William Conrad as Wolfe.

HA! Yes, just about the only “new” MUSIC I’ve heard are RE-MAKES of the older music; most of the rest is hellish garbage. :-)

I met Ed once. Nice man.

He is blind, and that gives rise to a funny story. (Ed confirmed to me that this did happen.) When he was on WRC in Washington, they were promoting a sponsor, Giant supermarkets, one day and he got his copy in Braille, but there was a slight problem.

Ed read what his fingers told him: “Take advantage of this special at the Giant at fill in location.”

Funny.

Giant stores are still everywhere in MD, I shop at one.

Let me know if you want on the ping list.

Evening, folks...........!

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
