I don't remember much more about the show, but I know we watched it, and laughed ourselves silly. If I were to go back and watch a few videos, I'm sure it would all come back, and I just might do that. It would be a nice change from the overwrought D.C. dramas.<br /><br />I wonder if your shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-22745946230482562812017-07-20T10:15:53.299-07:002017-07-20T10:15:53.299-07:00Glad you had a few laughs and could clean up after...Glad you had a few laughs and could clean up after yourself.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-16703455836727416712017-07-20T07:29:05.433-07:002017-07-20T07:29:05.433-07:00This entire blog is a coffee spitter - luckily a r...This entire blog is a coffee spitter - luckily a roll of paper towels was nearby to clean my display.
