There’s a local radio personality who lives in the Midway, not all that far from my place.  I’ve known this personality off and on for quite a while.

I run into him periodically at one of the neighborhood coffee shops.  We exchange the usual pleasantries – it’s one of the fun things about having lived in one place as long as I have. 

Still, radio is a strange business.

It’s just weird, for example, running into a neighbor and saying “How’s the first trend of the ol’ summer book going?”
