is NXNE set on or around Christmas? I have vivid memories of it often being on TV around then and watching it regularly with my parents. Or perhaps it was just cheap to license among bundles of popular favorites for stations to program around the holidays for viewers’ TV-watching downtime.

Also, good evening, Therese. Others as well.

May the GOP continue to fragment and may the rest of us (including the dems and other parties) start to figure some stuff out on a strategic level. The ones gumming up the works in the name of change do not propose to offer change as an option when they are in power.

That is all.
