Over the summer, they introduced daytime talk content between Morning Edition and All Things Considered, something that pleases me a lot. But what does not please me whatsoever are their incessant and ever recurring pledge drives. It… Continue reading Pledge drive … yet again?

The day we met, May 1, 2005, right before I got on the plane I'm certain I was in love with Enrique by about 2 p.m. the day we met, if not earlier. Enrique and I met three months before we started at Yale.… Continue reading QotD: It Was Kismet
