Nostalgia

remembering the past

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Nostalgia

Post by Mrs Jason Whittaker »

Recently I've been listening to older Adventures in Odyssey episodes and I have to say two things:

I miss the wrap-around skits with Chris. She did some interesting things and met some interesting people in order to set up the story.

And I miss Randall, the mailman. But not too much, because Wooten kind of reminds me of him.

Ah, good times.

I believe the reason for this not happening anymore is the fact that the stories are getting longer and so they don't have as much time to kill with Chris, but I agree that some of beginnings and wind ups with Chris were pretty comical and fun.

I know there's a reason they don't do them anymore...but still I miss them. Just like missing the characters that have moved on.

I know this isn't going back very far (it might not even count as a memory) but when was the last time we heard from the Coyotes? I like them a lot and there were a lot of good old school episodes with them in it. They used to use the Coyotes a lot more than they do now.

The team the Washington guys played against were the Coyotes--they were hardly heard from, and I don't think we've heard from them since. Unless the team was in All-Star Witness, but I can't remember for sure.

Oh ya, The Defining Moment, but according to www.aiolib.com, that first aired May 31, 2003, so it's been a while.

Ah, I was thinking number-wise and assumed it was recent. Didn't realize it was five years ago already.

If my tank is completely empty, $15 won't even get me a third of a tank -_-;

Ford Excursion owners spend $132 to fill their 44-gallon tank (if price is $3 a gallon,) and then they can only drive 440 miles on it (10 mpg mixed driving.)

And that's a great reason not to own a Ford Excursion ;)
