I enjoy listening to NRP on Saturday morning, while lying in bed not quite ready to get up and face the day. Today Scott Simon of the soulful puppy eyes and worlds greatest belly laugh was reporting on various topics. He introduced Penn and Teller who have worked together now for 40 years. That is longer than most marriages. There was an interview with an author who wrote "Under Tiberius" which as near as I can tell is the story of a Roman con man who goes on the road with Jesus. The author sounded exhausted and cynical and may have hopes of literary prizes in his future. Another piece was a new album by a lovely young thing whose muse was Nina Simone singing Bee Gee's covers. Strange. Some political stuff. And at the top of the hour I was compelled to leap from my lovely morning snooze to face the day. No belly laugh from Mr. Simon today. Dang it.
