Hey, and Elliot Lewis, I'm safe. The names of radio are very geeky in their own theater. Starring in a repertoire of transcribed stories on their own and you're choosing. Radio's foremost players in radio's foremost players.

Ladies and gentlemen, Elliot Lewis. Good evening. May I present my wife, Kathy? Good evening. We don't know where you live. We live in a very quiet suburban community. We know approximately where you live from your letterhead in the post-martial letters.

But if you live in, say, Kansas City, we don't know where in Kansas City. In the city or in the suburbs or way out of town. But we live in the suburbs and living there we've found that we have many things in common with our neighbors. We disagree on many things but also we agree on many more.

And if you were able to put those remarks into the form of a radio drama, you could get quite a story out of it. A young man named Arthur Roth did just that and night was going to do it.

So if you will, listen now to a circle of wheels. A prunes? Isn't today Wednesday?

Yes. Prunes on Wednesday? You weren't feeling very well on Saturday and we had them instead of orange juice or orange juice with sundae instead. Oh yes. I'll sit down in a minute. Mm-hmm, yes. Why don't you start on your prunes?

I'd better go light. Doctor today. That's in the afternoon. I know, I know. But I hate to eat too much when I'm going for a physical. With all that pressing and pushing, I might get sick.

Upset stomach. That's your bee at the doctor. Of course. Only if I'd come to him because I had an upset stomach, that would be different. But I'm going for an annual physical. And if I get sick, he'll say, why didn't you come sooner?
