Happy Holidays! We're  getting some snow finally after  a pretty dry
December. It was  actually a green Christmas here, which  as you can
imagine is unusual for Quebec. But my wife and I have managed to get
out and x-country ski a few times with what little we did get. So it
hasn't been a total loss.

I've been  doing a  lot of old-time-radio  (OTR) listening  over the
holidays, something  I mentioned  before [0]  and have  continued to
enjoy  over  the  years.   Archive.org  has  a  huge  (and  growing)
collection [1] if  you have an interest in sampling  the shows. Some
of the best  series include Gunsmoke, Escape, Lights  Out, CBS Radio
Mystery Theater (CBSRMT) [2], X Minus One, and Nightfall.

A recent  fun episode I  listened to  was 'Olive Darling  and Morton
Dear', a CBSRMT episode from 1977 featuring the voice of Fred Gwynne
(the same Fred Gwynne  of Munsters fame).  He was in  over 80 of the
CBSRMT episodes [3] and apart from being an excellent actor, has one
of  those perfect  radio voices.   You  can stream  or download  the
episode on Archive.org  [4].
