Another beautiful weekend in progress...

Well, something happened, is that the sound of Murray gnashing his teeth coming from the direction of DC...Dragnet is back at 7:30pm...

We'll be bored for a few minutes listening to Superman...Life of Riley can be funny at times...Broadway is my Beat, classic B crime stories...Suspense!, but why oh why at 9:30pm? I wonder if Murray likes doing something new just to do something new...fantastic choice in the Whistler! (run these at the end, they need the most focus to enjoy, Ed knew what he was doing)...and ending with Academy Award Theater, we'll see how that goes, seems anticlimactic...

How's it all going out there?

Holy smokes! Will wonders never cease? I can’t believe the original lineup is back! :-) Guess I should’ve done the synopsis list, but I’ve been too irked with him. It’s okay, though. We’re good.

How’s it going, Vision?

[Vision]

Things are good. Jambalaya should be about to finish in the rice cooker. Did a heck of a lot of work on the front lawn today. You?

[WXRGina]

We’re fine here. No news. All I’ve made in the rice cooker is a few batches of brown rice. I LOVE the brown rice! I’d only ever had white.

Keith’s smoking some baby back ribs on the Green Egg.

[Vision]

Last week’s The Campbell Playhouse, Liliom, was bizarre. The story of a no good woman beating carney and the woman who loved him. I left that story perplexed.

[WXRGina]

I guess we missed that one.

[WXRGina]

Conspicuously absent from Murray’s 9-11 audio were the words Islam, Muslim and terrorism.

I’m shocked, I tell you! Not.

[Vision]

Nitrous oxide...interesting...

[WXRGina]

A “gateway drug”! :-D

[Vision]

Ok suspense. Enjoy whistler, I’m turning out the lights...

[WXRGina]

Good night, Vision!
