I'm glad you listened to it while traveling, too -- and you hit the part about loss on the nose. I was in L.A. when I read about Dr. Tiller and thought about you immediately. I wonder what it is about experiencing stories and news away from home that everything about them seems to intensify.

Thank you for your comment on the pictures, too, it felt so good to be there.

I never like to comment on your journal entries because they read like prose that's meant to stand alone (and they effectively do so), but I absolutely have to ask you a question that's mostly beside the point of what your post was trying to say.

I've started listening to and looking for podcasts lately, and I see you listen to some, and could you please offer me suggestions for podcasts to listen to?

Thanks.

You know, this is going to sound silly, but for a day or two I thought about researching lists of popular or interesting blogs for the both of us, since I am still limited to the 'All Things Considered' archives and haven't branched out much beyond that. I tried the Storycorps podcast and was disappointed on the brevity, it seemed like at least half of it was advertising. The only other podcast I've listened to has been a gaming podcast at Bryan's house -- it might still be called "1up" or something else now that they've been bought out. 1up occasionally sounds like a bunch of nerdy guys in their late 20s but sometimes gets into really interesting discussions about the culture and communities created by video games and virtual worlds. I don't play video games now and I didn't even think I'd be interested in the issues they bring up, but they do a good job of challenging each other and they're all well spoken individuals

Those photos are shockingly beautiful. Hope my city was kind to you.

Thank you.
I was in your city at 3 in the morning, wherever the Greyhound station is, it seemed right downtown in the middle of things. It was easy to wake up, and I liked the lights more than I thought I would.

This is so beautiful, and I'm glad you're taking notes.

Thank you Sean, keep writing about the new coffee shop and your open mics.

you and brian are too perfect together.

you're making me want to just say, "screw i'm going on a road trip!" i'm glad you had fun, love.

I'm probably too practical for my own good, and really the only way I did a trip like this was to stop thinking for once and just go.
