We've Got a Wiener!!!!



No pulling the wool over Nancy Jane McNally......
She was in first this week with.....
Charles Peete "Charlie" Rose, Jr.

--No relation to Pete Rose.
--Yep.....3 "e"'s in Peete.
--Maybe the only show I watch....
and he's even better on 60 Mins.

Which reminds me.....
Got a new phone app called....TuneIn Radio.
http://tunein.com/

You can also use it on your tablet....
your laptop or your Tandy 1000.
--It not only gets me all of the local radio stations....
--other stations anywhere in the world.
--all of the local police scanners
to ensure that my children are all in before curfew.
--Also....
tons of 60 Mins and Car Talk podcasts.

I will be on Holiday
and taking a "3 hour tour" with the Skipper and Mrs. Howell.
Will return on Tuesday, March 5th
with another puzzler and some
good Irish Tuneage for March.
(maybe a surprise update if I can get wi-fi)

Imagine if he had glasses with wi-fi?

Only $1500....coming to a Google Store near you.
Yes.....they are now opening stores.

We Have a Weiner......


Both Mr. David O'Connor and I have a crush on Flo.
.....there I said it.

He was the first in this week with Stephanie Courtney
who is the actress who plays Flo from Progressive.
The pic on Tuesday was from the series Mad Men.
And she looks NOTHING like Hillary Clinton....
(Yeah!!....you know who you are!!)

Good news for Dave and I......
Flo's alter-ego in Australia is known as Kitty.
Plenty to go around.
