I think that it is extremely unfortunate that listening to the radio has gone "out of style". There are so many other media outlets in which to receive information now that not many people listen to the radio anymore. I am as guilty as anyone. I generally tune in to "Prairie Home Companion" every Saturday for an hour and listen to a few NPR shows here and there, but that is really it.
Last week, thanks to a friend, I discovered old time radio horror stories. They are like movies/tv shows for radio. They are really, REALLY great and they force you to just listen. No watching. No feeling. Just listening. I love it.
Here is a website where you can download some of them for fairly cheaply:

You can also download them for free on limewire or buy them more cheaply on ITUNES.
Enjoy!

bicycle goodness.
As of last summer I have a wonderful Trek road bike that I LOVE riding every time I get the opportunity. I got the bike thinking I was going to get really serious about it all and do races and such. That dream wasn't exactly realized last summer. This summer, I am setting some new bicycle goals.
My boyfriend and I both have nice bikes that we enjoy riding so we went on a 16-mile ride together on Sunday and it was great. So here are my new goals for the summer on the bicycle:
1. Ride at least twice a week, (this means REALLY ride, not just piddle around town).
2. Get up to riding 30 miles at a time.
3. Up my average speed to about 15/16 mph.
4. Buy new pedals, new helmet, cycling shorts and a computer for bike.
On another note, those of you that have a bike, ride it! It is such a pleasant, easy and enjoyable way to get exercise. Especially if you can ride it out in the country and take your camera with you. Last week I was on vacation in the FL Keys and I took my bike... and my camera. And those two things were fairly inseperable for the entire trip. Take a ride out in the country and take some pictures. Exercise and create all at the same time. :)
