Recorded before Donna headed off on her latest European Romp, the hosts sat down to talk about doors.  Some funny moments from technical issues, to host departures during recording, some true belly laughs and amongst all the chaos, we talked doors.  From operations, to components, colors and screens.  We present and Open & Shut conversation about one the main features of a house which we all so easily overlook (unless its painted for Curb Appeal). FYI:  The Prenteders recorded My City Was Gone (Back to Ohio) in 1982 while Tim Lowe recorded The Green Door all the way back in 1956 (neither host was born yet).  Recommend you give them both a listen.

We can't beleive it is already time to be thinking Back to School, criminently it's only JULY.  But supply drives are on, team practices will begin soon, and heck in AZ some schools are already back in session.  TBH Eric is getting over Strep Throat and that triggered his Asthma and he...well, sounds awful.  Sorry for his LOUD throat clearing and coughing.  Things have changed a lot since our back to school days.  Dress up, first day photos, walking and bussing.  So much has changed and so much to discuss.
