Happy Labor Day weekend all...

I can’t remember the last time a lineup ran without standout shows...but there’s quality standbys nonetheless...

How’s it going?

[WXRGina]

Hey, Vision. Happy Labor Day!

[Vision]

Hi Gina, doing anything fun?

[WXRGina]

No fun, just work. But it was good work. I cleaned out and detailed a big stand of azaleas in our back yard, and we took everything out of the laundry room in the garage, and Keith cleaned and started painting it.

What about you?

[Vision]

No fun! Meh.

Relaxing, doing some tasks around the house, working on cocktail recipes, making some burgers.

[WXRGina]

Well, that sounds good! :-)
