Mission. Accomplished.
I got my picture taken with Carl! Carl Kasell! He talked to me in his radio voice, which is his real voice! He was nice! And funny! Also, look at his UNC tie! Ha! I totally geeked out! Obviously! I am aware that it’s lame! I geek out over NPR newscasters!
Then we met Frank Stasio, who also talked in his radio voice! Which is also his real voice! So fun! I love The State of Things!
This is all thanks to my brother, who donated to NPR and got the tickets. I should give him some exclamation points, too. Yay, Joseph!!!
I . . . am very tired. It has been a long day. Obviously. I’ll be more coherent at some future point, I promise.

A picture with Carl Kasell! Even better than his voice on your answering machine. My children teased me mercilessly when I bought tickets to an evening with Bob Edwards after he left NPR. Sometimes I’m mad at them, but often,- usually,- I find the stories there to be complete and calmly presented.
I wish that you could have been a little less interesting and thoughtful in the last few years. I am spending too much time thinking, “I’ll read just one more and then get back to work….”

Hon, it’s not lame that you geek out over NPR announcers … it’s to your credit.
