Maybe, in that as yet unforseeable time when I break down and get a smartphone....

Can't you hook up your smartphone to the car radio?

We learned a lot about music from our kids. :) The joys of the season to you, too, Eric.

Technically, WMFE still plays classical music, but they've split the station into two parts, and relegated the classical to 90.7-2, which requires some special sort of radio to pick up. It's rather like suddenly discovering that all your favorite TV shows moved to cable. I can listen online (and so can you, unless it's blocked in Europe), but that doesn't help in the car or around the house. And I don't think they have any of the great local programs anymore, either.

What?! WMFE doesn't play ANY classical music anymore? I feel a part of me has died. Much of my homeschooling years were spent listening to WMFE and when the music stopped for Garrison's Writer's Almanac it let me know it was noon and reveal if I'd been efficient or lazy that morning . . .

Funny! I wrote about this once as the "diaper syndrome." I never saw a diaper commercial in my life until my wife said she was pregnant. . .then I couldn't escape them! Now, it happens all the time, especially with three teenagers in the house swimming in their own culture. One will drop a name and explain and then. . .it/he/she is everywhere! Just one of the many benefits & joys of having kids. (Happy holidays!)
