For Crying out Loud . . . No, Really

Now I like NPR, but why do they seem hell-bent on making people cry in the morning? It's too early for this sort of thing. You're still groggy. Still vulnerable. And bam! They hit you with this? C has to bring tissues to work with her. Just listen to the audio. I bet even the most stalwart among you will get a little teary-eyed.

That's just not right to do to someone first thing in the morning. *sniff*.

I know!!! The parking lot attendant that I see every morning also listens, we often greet each other teary eyed because of NPR, but we can't stop listening. Listen to Douglas deSilvey's story and try not to sob. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5704652

Radiolab is helping me to evolve ... in all kinds of ways. Pretty soon, I'm hoping I'll be able to sleep with one eye open again.

As I ate, people walked past, and I listened to the strange temporal quality of their footsteps. The way they suddenly came into my aural bubble, and just as suddenly vanished. One moment they were there, in front of me, belonging to that person. These feet on gravel. The next minute they were gone, along with the person who brought them. These footsteps. Now quiet.
