When I awoke from my afternoon nap to the sound of the wind in the trees, for a moment, I did not know where I was.

Hearing voices
Driving in my car the other day, I caught WAMC’s Joe Donahue conducting an interview with a woman whose name I didn’t catch, having tuned in mid broadcast.

My mother didn't like cats because they walked all over counters and tables and my brother is allergic, so there were no cats in our house other than the kitten I hid for a couple of days in my closet when I was six.
