Two Thoughts...

I love NPR. I do. Reflecting on my love for NPR (as I sometimes do), led me to two thoughts.

The first is a memory of a game I played with a friend my freshman year in college. We were fast friends and although it seemed we'd known each other for a long time, we really had just met. One night instead of doing Calc homework we played a game we made up called, "what do you love most." The "game" essentially forced each of us to think of the five things (yes actual things, not people or ideas) that we loved the most. Hers included Gumby, Maps, and Pickles. Mine: New athletic socks. (I don't remember what else I we said) I here by add.... NPR. Silly? Perhaps. But it's fun. I am curious what everyone else loves the most.

The second thing I was thinking about is this series of essays they do on NPR called "This I believe". People, famous and ordinary, young and old, read essays they've written about what they believe in above all things. ( http://www.npr.org/thisibelieve/about.html ) In any case, I have sometimes thought about trying to write an essay like this. But today, if anyone is looking for something blog about, give this a try?
