I listen to NPR stations on the radio whenever I’m in the car. I used to listen much more often when I was working in real estate and had to drive around looking at houses. Different times, different shows, but one that always made me groan was Science Friday. I am not a science person and my eyes glaze over. The other day I got in the car and found myself listening to an interview on Science Friday. A woman was talking about how she met her husband in an airport. A professor friend of his had asked him to pick her up and it was love at first sight. They were together for 25 years and then HE DIED OF BRAIN CANCER.
