I was just having an internal conversation with myself, one of those endless loop kind of things that you use to substitute for entertainment when you can't listen to NPR. Which is anytime I'm driving, because my car radio doesn't work. This is totally my fault, because my partner just made me buy a radio (for safety's sake) for my Civic after fourteen years of not having one. But to save money, I insisted on not buying an antenna. The antenna seemed like a waste of $75 because my clock radio doesn't seem to have one and it works fine. But who knew?! The car radio really doesn't pick up any radio stations without an antenna. There's just static.
So anyway, on the way to work this morning, I was not able to listen to NPR. And I was thinking that I can't really specify any genuine, targeted sense of gratitude for this particular person, that particular documentary film, this particular poem, that particular electoral victory. Because I was feeling an overall, kind of global sense of gratitude and hopefulness for everything. So I think I'll just leave it at that!
