NPR had excellent highlight broadcast today. Not sure about nationally, but here in Maine our local NPR is rerunning that at 3 PM tomorrow and replaying an interview from the past at 4. Absolutely love their laughter! ---

I wish some clever person would make a button, like the “drama button” ([dramabutton.com](http://dramabutton.com)) of Tom’s laugh. I would love that. ---

I know, I wasn’t a regular listener or anything, couldn’t have told you when it would be on, but always listened when I chanced across it. Heard todays show, I’m laughing and getting weepy at the same time. ---
