Closer, or Is It Closer? Transmission 59, 2013 September 4

The final regularly scheduled BOMBAST of the WRFI summer season is a return to the usual BOMBAST thing, whatever that is--circa January. No "Physical Evidence," not on account of a shortage but instead because I simply couldn't make it work this time around. The "Listening Parlour," however, is open, although Lady Catharsis is not in a talking mood. This show felt good and is good, even if it was a wobbly first step on the road to normalcy.

"Retro August" has taken a toll, physically and mentally. Still, some things remain. I continue to say ridiculous stuff like "a movie ticket giving-away." Perhaps these gaffes will always be with us. I'm beginning to think so.
