    Hey Mr. DJ

    What’s Jack up to? He’s spending the morning running around in circles today? Is that a sign of nuttiness? I think it may be. At least on my part for getting a nutty dog.

    So I got this great RWA workshop tape from a friend of mine on Deep POV with Suzanne Brockmann from the 2003 National Conference. I was so excited to get it in the mail and get to hearing what Suzanne had so say. So a go to pick up my little portable boombox and notice for the first time that it has no cassette player. What the?

    Now I have plenty of cassette tapes in my house from days gone by, but here’s the kicker. My DH got a new car a couple of years ago and it only has a CD player and now my car only has a CD too. What the heck am I supposed to do?

    I head to the basement. There has to be an old Walkman somewhere in this place. I’m digging though boxes and dust is getting everywhere and no cassette player is turning up. Craps!

    I head to the streets. They laugh at me at the better electronics stores. And look at me like I’m a little crazy at the discount stores. I was starting to feel like I had to head to eBay. Then the ever resourceful DH came home with paydirt yesterday! For 7.99 he found one at an obscure computer store that sold all sorts of outdated things. The strange thing is that it was actually made in 2007. Funny, huh?

    Now I’m excited about all the good music I can listen to while walking down the street with my big Walkman and thoroughly embarrassing my kids in the process. Way Cool!
    What would you listen to if you just got a new Walkman?

    best,
    Kwana
    P.S Check out the train wreck reunion show of The not so Real Housewives of New York City tonight. I hear the fur was literally flying onstage and off.
