We went to a show in Dallas last night, a fundraiser for a literacy center that featured Grant and Martha from the NPR show/podcast A Way with Words. While we were waiting for the curtain to rise, we talked about the shows we had tickets to this year and realized that they were all NPR people: this one, then in May, we're going to see a talk by Jad Abumrad with Zoe Keating on cello providing music, and in November David Sedaris is coming back to the Bass Hall. I feel so nerdy intellectual.

Toby would like to stress that he found the May show and wants to go entirely because he's a fan of Zoe Keating's music and she's not giving a regular concert in North Texas (we'd have to drive to Austin or Houston that weekend), but I still called him a nerd.
