Flu or Cold Surviving a Sick Day on the Air

So do I have the flu, or just a really bad cold? After a day like yesterday, who cares? All I know is that I felt terrible. But in the worlds of radio and journalism, no one can stay sick for long. So after a full day spent flat on my back, I am once again propped up in front of the microphone. Rolf Charlston is on vacation, so I’ll be at the helm this morning, spinning classical on WRTI from 6 to noon.

Listen locally, in the Philadelphia area, at 90.1 FM or online at wrti.org. A full list of translators here: http://wrti.org/wrti-coverage-map

I’ll have plenty of citrus and chicken broth at the ready.

Flu, Facebook, and Forties Film

Sadly, I’ve come down with some sort of flu. My sleep was disturbed for most of the night by the recollection of George Lloyd’s Symphony No. 6, which I played yesterday morning on WPRB. It kept repeating incessantly in my head. So anything I post today about the newspaper article or “Picture Perfect” will be all cut-and-paste from the original documents.

I just wanted to send a quick note, not so much to garner sympathy, but to follow up on my post of a couple of weeks back, in which I complained about not being able to see anyone else’s pages anymore, not even when using the station computers. Well, yesterday, someone must have thrown the lever again, because now I’m back to roaming free on Facebook. Most peculiar.

Typing this on my back on the couch. Happily, TCM is showing all black-and-white Jean Muir movies from the early ‘30s. The perfect backdrop to a long winter’s snooze.
