It’s been a somewhat somber week, so days without a “theme” are tougher for me to choose anything to post.
Tom gave me this for my birthday last month. I wasn’t able to listen to any of the podcasts of conversations between Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama, so I’m hoping that when I have time to delve into this, I’ll get to learn some of the things they talked about.
I’ve never hero-worshipped. I’ve always known the people I admire have flaws, and I’ve never expected perfection. They’re human. Through the decades, my instincts have been validated by people’s actions and their character–in both directions, but I choose to amplify men, not monsters.
Are the podcasts not still available?
Probably. Maybe I’ll check to see if I can listen to them at night as a way to wind down before I go to bed. I can color while I listen. For some reason, that’s a soothing combination, it’s just that I’m so tired by the end of the day I don’t want to do anything. Sadly, being tired doesn’t always translate to easily falling asleep.
