My cousin, Marilyn Nelson, was on All Things Considered on Saturday discussing her latest book of poetry, How I Discovered Poetry. The book is about growing up in the 1950's as the daughter of an Air Force officer, one of the last Tuskegee Airmen. http://www.npr.org/2014/02/08/272654805 ... ary-family

That is a rave.

How cool is that?

that is so cool!

That's cool, but we all know JL is the only member here who's actually been an NPR contributor himself.

This is way cooler since this interview actually went on the air, and wasn't about fat nerds reacting to Batman.

Very cool, sigh.

Can you guys imagine holidays at the sighyoung house? Everyone in sweaters and the men smoking pipes around the fire and discussing fancy writing and stuff while sipping brandy? Probably in the study.

That's cool sigh.

I think sigh's cousins are named Seymour, Buddy, Boo Boo, Franny and Zooey. Also Walt and Waker.
