My current best friend

seems to be National Public Radio. Since I live alone and don't have much work to do yet, or a TV, or social interaction, I have a lot of empty lonely space to fill. NPR rides with me in the car, greets me when I come into my apartment, and keeps me company while I'm here. News, Car Talk, A Prairie Home Companion, a conference on the Vietnam War, Celtic music, stories from Katrina victims. I'm even hearing repeats of everything.

I hear reruns too! Matt told me that that is not supposed to happen and that I must listen to more NPR than anyone else in the world...but not EVERYONE else.

Do you get Diane Rehm down there? Because she is my biggest girl-crush ever.

I listened to her show today, but there was a guest host so I haven't been able to develop a crush yet.

Yeah, the subsitute sucks - brace yourself, when Diane gets back the sparks will fly.

Car Talk on Saturday mornings and Jazzy or Classical music and News when I'm fixing dinner on weekday evenings: LOVE IT! Now I'll think of you listening along. Even while you're in NC, we're still connected by the radio waves. Miss you!
