Evening all, it’s a solid lineup tonight...let’s hope the host loses his SJW ways...

Our Miss Brooks is fun, The Orson Welles Program should be good...never heard of Jubilee...Command Performance, Rhapsody in Blue sounds fantastic...and ending classically with a Lux from ‘39.

How’s everything?

Things are happy around here. It’s so mild out we might not get snow this year. Had a sweet cook on the smoker. It cooks by itself and will hold the meat for you.

What about you?

It’s a nice, mild winter, for sure! That sounds like a nice smoker. We may be having Hot Pockets for dinner. :-) I’ll message you...

To answer your question, Vision, I don’t know if we’ll tune in to Murray’s show or not. Right now, Keith has Bonanza on the “nostalgia” TV channel here. :-)

I thought the Gunsmoke was interesting. German mail order bride via a personal ad in the St. Louis newspaper. Different.

It is a good one, I’ve heard it a few times. And our SJW host was happy Matt let him beat on the bad guy.
