My wife and I have a pretty nice, but old, recliner that's in excellent shape. Since we have no use for it and were unable to sell it online we decided we would donate it.

REALLY glad my wife is working from home today. Was able to snowblow before she drove. Nothing worse than snow blowing after your driveway has been driven on. Hate those packed down tire tracks.

Not local broadcasting related but didn't know where else to put this. Sirius XM now has Johnny Carson channel (#105).
