The President's Address

SIKE! This has nothing to do with the president.

I was listening to the radio today for the first time in months--maybe years. My dial was set to 99.5, Minnesota Public Radio, the classical version. So I'm lounging in my loungable car, listening to Purcell's musical interpretation of The Faerie Queene, and then they phase into a Monty Python sketch. A sketch about a cheese shop that didn't have any cheese. The highlight, after many cheeses have been eliminated...

John Cleese: Do you have any cheese here?
Michael Palin: Yes, we have--
John Cleese: Don't tell me; I am keen to guess.

I conclude that this is my perfect radio station. So I'll probably listen to it for another week or two before I again quit radio forever.
