Good evening all. We’re covered in snow here and this week it’s not expected to get above freezing!
One week to Superbowl, who do you like? I’m picking Denver as it seems to be Manning’s year; however Seattle is a slightly better team.
Tonight’s lineup? Ok. Will be interested to see what Women’s Rights are in My Favorite Husband. Sam Spade is solid, never heard of FBI in Peace and War, and Gina will be happy with an hour long Sherlock Holmes...
We have an Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre on the Air Sherlock Holmes story! :-)
