We have a good lineup tonight...interesting rationing program with Benny and the stars of the day...Falcon, a lesser known detective show...Challenge of the Yukon can be awesome, love some of the ending speeches and closing theme...never heard of Plays for Americans, sounds good...and ending classically with Suspense!
How are the post holidays for you?

Hi, Vision!
You have us beat in the cold department. Our low last night was around 24 and very breezy, too. The winds have died down quite a bit today, and it’s in the mid 40s now. We’ll probably have a fire in the back yard fire bowl later.
How’s it been going with you?
The week started off CRAZY. Like start looking for another job crazy. But things seem to have been resolved and all is well. Just staying warm this weekend, made some chili.
Oh, no! I’m glad you got it worked out at work. Looking for a new job would be the PITS!
Chili’s a darned good choice for this cold weather! We’re going to brave the chill and grill some chicken—at least Keith will do most of the braving, since he’s the grill-meister. :-)
A weak gunsmoke...
Yeah, we’ve heard that Gunsmoke before.
The Falcon is kinda stiff.
Murray you’re SO annoying...
We’ve tuned out and have 20th Century Radio on, although we’re doing more talking than listening.
Good night, Vision! I hope your week is better than last week.
Night Gina
