TRYING TO GET SMARTER ON LINE - Just A Minute Radio for Wednesday 120912

Now -- we’re trying something a little different today.

 

I’ve been getting some feedback that we’re not making our points very well in this blog. So in the program where trying to incubate a Little More Interest from the characters that appear here on Wednesdays.

 

Let me know what you think about the discussion at Earl and Lester’s Bakeshop and Sushi Bar on this Wednesday. Certainly we want to keep things interesting here on Wednesdays especially because that’s when all our folks from Playfair come and visit.

 

Perhaps you’re not familiar with all the characters but there is Ms. Pearl and Homer and Billy Bob. They’re pretty recognizable as characters from Playfair and friends of mine. I grew up in Virginia but my mother is from South Carolina and I was born in Virginia of South Carolina Virginia mother and an Alabama father and I married a Pennsylvania girl -- so I’m pretty well ensconced in American history at least by my parents.

 

If this paragraph seems a little stilted and awkward it’s because I’m trying to learn a new computer program which lets me translate speech into printed word. Problem is my brain doesn’t work that fast. Perhaps in a day or two or week or two more months or two it’ll catch up with what it’s supposed to look like but at least the dictation is faster than my typing usually is and that’s the difficulty I’m trying to overcome.

 

Anytime you feel like you’d like to contribute something by way of the suggestion or some changes like to hear made on just a minute please write to me and care of WMUU and will see what can be done for you. Meantime I’ll try to get used to dictating rather than typing and we’ll see if things can go better.  We appreciate always your tuning in and we appreciate any suggestions that you may have.

 

Cordially, IN HIM
