Iheartthis RT @etanowitz: []asks []Schiller if NPR will change name 2 something like National Public Media - she says no. it’s not necessary
The landscaping adventure begins. Today we start designing + making plans, then nixing them because we have no budget. Ah, we’ll find a way.
Midrash that includes: “Truth is shattered into a thousand pieces when God throws it down to earth.”
Did anyone see Bachmann (R-MN) on FoxNews tonight? Aye. She should pose her “What in our Constitution says…” question to herself.
With a pen embedded between his index and middle fingers, Hannity just extended and shook Huckabee’s hand from across the desk. Awkward.
Oh, Ben Wareham, I don’t know you but I rue you and your picks that prevent me from eatin’ taters in the cellar. You just had to pick UCLA.
I am now dead-last in my bracket pool. What’s worse: I’m actually being beaten by a dog named after a Scottish malt whiskey distillery. Aye.

What we do just isn’t sexy. What we do is extra. What we do touches people. What we do doesn’t appeal to cliques. Am I in the wrong place?
These 3am work sessions take a toll at about 9pm when reading with the boys. Toothpicks for me eyes, please. I’m not sandbaggin’ though…
A thinning cortex not allowing one to process emotional stimuli which might lead to a heritage of depression. Fascinating. http://ow.ly/1sf1
Is anybody watching “Kings”? Maybe Al Swearengen still lives on. http://ow.ly/1lTn
- Producing and refining “Children of the Disappeared” video for this week’s show. Triple-checking survivor names and writing better copy.
- Answering the call of being a daddy and an employee can be an all-night affair on both counts.
RT @vashtimckenzie: Know what is right and then be willing to do it.

- Nothing better than the sound of the rails at night as the train passes on the other side of the meadows.
- Worked with a great guy at Magnum to use Patrick Zachmann’s portraits of the children of Argentina’s disappeared for a video with poetry.
- Watching “The Victory Garden” takes on a whole new meaning as my senses are all atwitter with the spring air and our muddy landscape.
- finding Wolverton’s distillation and drawings of the Hebrew Bible a form of midrash.
was going to buy a pair of tickets to see the Bison in the first round, and choked on $360. Television coverage, here I come.
spent a full day at the Science Museum of Minnesota. If I see one more movie glorifying Lewis + Clark… Oy.
- Pleasantly surprised by the unanimous positive response from panelists at the Ford Foundation to our Being Catholic show. http://ow.ly/SO2
- A little joe to get my morning parade of shows started.
- I grew up despising NDSU and the Bison, and now I may have to cheer for them. Damn you, March Madness!
- Made my recommendations for cutting costs for APM.
- I had never read Alicia Partnoy’s poems before today. But to be able to hear her recite them for our program with Doretti was fabulous.
- My boy-king’s passion for Spider-Man lead us to Big Brain Comics today. A luxury I never knew as a child was gifted to me as an adult.
Some peoples’ lives are so different from my own: RT @balletrusse: Mark Morris is teaching class this morning.
I find @danielschorr and his warm reaction to Twitter refreshing — and that he isn’t following the cat who set him up, @acarvin. Gold!
- Masterful muffins by the ol lady complemented by some good landscaping posts and images. Weak coffee nearly killed it.
The Saturday Profile: An Empire for Poor Working... →
- Was pitched a book to peg to International Women’s Day. IWD won’t take for SOF; subject of extraordinary women of the Muslim world might.
Stanley’s piece lacks insight, depth, and critical curiosity. A stodgy, lazy take on Fallon’s use of Twitter and FB. http://ow.ly/G6U
What started out as an online project to quickly address the economic crisis has now become a radio program! Listen in: http://ow.ly/FfW
- Discussing McEwan with Krista yesterday, then happened upon this piece in The New Yorker tonight. Better than Soseki? http://ow.ly/ElM
RT for the day! @cshepherd no kidding: all staff email subject line: Missing type writer.

- Working out in my mind the way I’d like to hear the RV listener show for May. Only wish expediency gave way to better fidelity.
- This I Believe is ending in April? One of the few sincere efforts on public radio allowing for a range of voices in an old-school format.
