I wake up every morning to NPR, twice. I get a ten minute teaser when John wakes up at 6:30. Then, many mornings from 7:30 to 8:30, I catch up as I lie in bed sort of defying the day (or Carter) to come and get me.
It is amazing the statistical nuggets of totally useless information available from 6:30 to 8:30 on NPR. Most often, I’m finding, statistics related to the general health of America consistently put me and my family in a much higher percentile than I could have ever hoped for on something like my SAT’s or graduation rank.
I knew I’d be a winner one day. And let me say, it is exactly as glorious as I always hoped it would be.
