After 72 years CBS has cancelled “The Guiding Light”. Now I am not a soap head, I had a brief flirtation with “All My Children” back in the mid 90’s but the Natalie got her sight back on Christmas day and…well I digress.

And that is about it for today….Thank you all for checking in. I am calling a full lid for the day!
