Hey, Vision! It’s a perfectly beautiful day today. All’s well, and we’re doing pork ribs on the grill.
How’s it going with you?
Did some burgers and getting a little fancy with a sauce. Am trying some andouille sausage for the first time. What's it supposed to taste like? Cajun and spicy?
“This is a sucker play!” I like that line.
I’m sorry you’re reaching the edge. Can you take some time off to get away or just hang around the house?
Side note: Are you on Facebook?
Andouille just tastes like normal sausage to me—not overly Cajun or spicy—but that depends on how it’s “doctored” as it’s made, I suppose. Keith doesn’t like it because of what’s it’s made of.
I just saw the Halloween picture girl! I love it! :-D
No on taking some time off and Facebook.
Addiction is ugly.
Yes, hard drugs are a beeyatch, big time.
GS time!
Love this Crosby OTR flashback...
Bill Cosby is a HOOT!
Not the funniest JB. Some day we’ll get one to get a laugh out of you.
Yes, the comedies are so-so. Believe it or not, I guess my favorite is Our Miss Brooks. Eve Arden is swell, and the writing is good.
We’ve tuned out for the moment and are listening to the Saints-Packers game on the radio for now, but we’re still here on the thread.
Im on the radio now, if we dont talk again have a great week.
Night, Vision! See you later.
