Can you believe it's almost the end of April? How crazy is that? Does it seem as though the year is flying by? (Oh, man. I shouldn't admit that. It's the kind of thing my mother would say. Guess it happens to all of us, doesn't it?)

Anyway, we are planning for coverage of President Obama's first 100 days in office and our second anniversary program. We're not making as big a deal about this show anniversary as we did the first. Life is so unfair, isn't it? The staff who joined us before year one get this nice party and special in-studio performance by Marcus Johnson. The ones who came this year get ... ice cream. Isn't that the way it goes?

(I'm a second child, I have issues.)

But I digress.

I'm still interested in your comments about the program.

And we're still interested in your BOOK ideas for our summer reading series. We have tentatively decided to focus on fiction because the first book in our series is from Colson Whitehead, of the MacArthur Fellowship fame. We think you'll find it compelling and, if not the novel, the conversation. But we want to hear from you. At the very least want the final book in the series to be a listeners' choice.

Let us know, we'd love it to be a book that you want to read in summer. Or, it could be ABOUT summer. It could be ... anything. But preferably, a book you might not get to during the rest of the year.

Let us know.
