What if you love Keillor's voice, to the point where you often express the wish to have him read you a bedtime story and are willing to listen to even the most tedious Lake Wobegon story just for the moment when he gets all hoarse and meaningful ... but think This American Life is worlds more brilliant in terms of writing and content?

Reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor saying the very best part about being married to Richard Burton was that he read stories to her in bed.

My One True NPR host would probably be Glass, with Keillor's voice. Discuss.

Never work. Ira's voice is better suited to his content.

All of the little suns in my Forecast Fox weather toolbar thingy have been replaced by flaming red thermometers.

Fortunately, I'm going to Canada in 2 days.

I think work should shut down whenever the heat index goes over 100.

Right now work is about the coolest place I could be (well or a movie theater or bar, I guess).

I've got AC in the bedroom, but I don't really want to be stuck in one room of my apartment.

It's stinking hot in Canada too. [link]

There was a woman who called into a local interview/talk show here and described how her family would sometimes use the TAL Glass candence/style for fun.

I listen to both PHC and TAL. I have to listen more closely to TAL. But really, they serve totally different listening whatevers. PHC is more background. TAL is throw things/laugh/whatever.

It's scorching hot here in the city, record-setting heat wave, but maybe not as much where you are mostly going.

Montreal looks to be hotter than LA, but with thunderstorms my first couple days there.

Pfft.

It was oven-like in Seattle yesterday, but now it's nice and cool.

In the house, at least. Haven't checked the rest of the city.

It's stinking hot in Canada too.

Yes, but I have a lake there.

It's going to be in the nineties here all through the weekend.
