I Love Fresh Air
So, I’ve recently started listening to “Fresh Air”, an NPR broadcast weeknights at 10:30pm EST (at least that is the time that I start to listen to it since I get off of work at that time).

Here and there and now and then, a stance.” —from “The Aerodrome” by Seamus Heaney from his book District and Circle
