Happy Sunday Night...Classic Radio Time...

Happy Sunday All...

So many shows tonight but no stars...Phillip Marlowe is great but when that’s the standout show there’s an overwhelming amount of C and D shows...let’s hope for something good from Abbott and Costello...

How are you?

Hi Gina, how’s the week been?

[WXRGina]

It’s been a very rainy week. We’ve had over 14 inches of rain this month! I’m glad for it, but it’s nice that it’s partly sunny today.

How about you? How’s it going?

[TianaHighrider]

Thank you ❣

[Vision]

14” in 18 days? Stunning. I’m good, doing some sous vide chicken tonight.

[Artemis Webb]

I never listen to the whole show. Blame my short attention span and early bedtime. I love Gunsmoke though. I never watched the tv series. Frank Cannon is terrific but Floyd the Barber gets on my nerves.

[Vision]

If you have a problem with Howard McNear you're walking on the fighting side of me. (:

[WXRGina]

Mmmm, sounds good! We’re doing baby back ribs on the grill with french fries.

[Viking2002]

Evening, folks.

Nope. Nothing new here. LOL!

[WXRGina]

Hi, Viking! :-)

[Vision]

Evening. Everything ok?

[Viking2002]

Hi, Gina! Yep. Feet are functional. About to slip out and pick up a pizza and wings for dinner. Hopefully be in Orlando in two weeks. 4/29-5/2, anyway. Six or seven hour drive. The hell with Disney. I want a crack at the NASA astronaut training simulators. Even if I virtually crash a lander, I can say I went out in a blaze of glory.

[WXRGina]

How cool, Viking! Not just the pizza and wings, either. :-D
I hope you have a great trip, and you’ll have to tell us all about it when you get back.
