A nice lineup...Duffy's Tavern can be hit or miss but is usually B or C level...anything with Bing is a win...Never heard of An American in England, and thinking it's going to be good since it's from ‘42...This is your FBI in the days when the FBI was a real organization....and ending well with a Lux from ‘41, not familiar with I Love You Again.
How goes it?
Howdy, Vision!
How YOU doin’? :-) No news here.
Good. Lots of yard work, got a new dishwasher, sun is finally out. Had a taste for hotdogs for some reason so I’ve been making a deal of it the last two days.
A new dishwasher! Those things are so handy. I’m glad we have one.
Hot dogs always sound good to me. :-)
What hotdogs do you like?
I usually just by the Hebrew National ones. Plain old hotdogs.
Hebrew National are very good but rich. I like Nathan’s.
Beats megyn Kelly with Putin by miles. Thanks.
She really is a bimbo.
You’re right about those HNs. They’re rich. Nathan’s. I’ll look for those next time.
Bing Ping!
It was very good Bing Ping, too! :-)
Enjoy Lux Gina sounds like a good one.
Good night, Vision! :-) I hope you have a good week.
P.S. Ed had a love of the craft. An appreciation of the profession of broadcast radio and a gift of connecting with the listeners over the airwaves. Screw Murray. He'd be a goldfish in a shark tank if he strayed as far west as Winchester. He's just a pretentious twit. I used to date (well, have a fling with) an attractive lady who worked at A.U. Lived in Adams Morgan. Nice, liberal Jewish girl who was an author and playwright, and *ahem* made the weekends quite interesting, until politics came into it. Needless to say, that wasn't a relationship made in Heaven, and THAT was 25 years ago. It boggles the mind how much deeper into the abyss we've sunk. Fifteen years in that cesspool was enough. As much as these yokels down here are a bit 'rustic', I'll take it over whatever that oozing sore of corrupt, parasitic governance has become.
Viking, they may not sell Nathan’s around here. Keith’s had them when he lived elsewhere, and he said he doesn’t remember seeing them here. I’ll look and see.
