I am really enjoying the current pledge drive for my local NPR station, WGBH. Aside from the fact that they’ve moved Jordan Weinstein, the DJ who can’t read a simple sentence without stumbling somewhere, to the evening commute so I can hear him, Alec Baldwin has teamed up with Ira Glass from This American Life to record some promos.

I had to listen to most of them at home, as I was literally crying. They are hilarious! My two favorites: “Don’t Give” and “Alec reassigns Nina Totenberg.” If you enjoy them, please, give to your local NPR station…or mine!

Best reaction to these: the Irish host, Brian O’Donovan, replied in his thick brogue, “We all know that Ira Glass has his own take on reality.” I don’t think he was amused…

As you can see, I’m catching up on getting the videos off the Flip camera. Here is John and I discussing briefly the Worcester/Shrewsbury border wars, as well as giving our own commentary to the on-going struggle.

Why we shouldn’t give Ethan coffee…

So I’m making coffee, and suddenly my milk starts talking to me. Eek!!
