All the "giving stuff away" sites I belong to specify "contactless pickup." I'm so glad, because when I have an old armchair or some board games to repurpose, I definitely expect to hug and kiss whoever comes to take them.

Here's the link to my The Boston Globe story which will run this Sunday. It's about how members of the clergy are summoning a sense of rebirth and renewal in this third pandemic Easter. Many thanks to Tim Schenck and @peacebang and several others..... bostonglobe.com/2022/04/08/met…

Pretty sure Steve Inskeep (or his Morning Edition scriptwriters) just urged the American public to practice hands-free driving. No Steve, it's hands-free everything else - calling, texting - but hands-ON driving! ☺️

Fellow #journalists, what are you doing about asking ppl's pronouns during short minor interviews? I'm interviewing seniors (by phone) about a fitness trend. Finding it hard to ask each one.

Are the editors and producers of Radio Boston on strike too? I'm sure teen basketball phenom AJ from Brockton is a terrific young man, but Tiziana Dearing's interview was the most painful 3-hour listening experience in recent memory.

You know when characters in a novel are just such awesome people that you wish they were real even if you wouldn’t know them just so you could feel happy about their lives? That’s how I’m feeling about Curtis Sittenfeld ‘s Sally + Noah.

Plot device in far too many otherwise well-respected novels I've read recently: "And then on the second try I randomly guessed his computer password." There just has to be another way. One capitalization, one punctuation mark, and the deal is off. It just seems impossible to me.

There are not enough broadcast awards in the world to recognize the genius that is Ayesha Rascoe . This morning's Weekend Edition , from her convo with astrophysicist Dr. India Jackson to her singing throwdown with Scott Simon .....best two hours of NPR ever recorded.
