bbc world service....

ok, so i succumbed to one of life's most basic pleasures........snuggling down under the covers after the radio-alarm kicks on at 6:30 am....to listen to 30 minutes of the bbc......the sunday morning edition that includes a news roundup......an instant guide to the american central bank....and 15 minutes of cricket and soccer scores........none of which affects me directly.......but it is a pleasant backdrop to the snuggling down under the covers.....and it beats getting up to the chill of the morning before i am quite ready to do so.......one of these days i must look into cricket scoring.......which doesn't make any sense......as well as read up on european soccer cup play........is there one cup....or multiple cups.....that involve world teams rather than just european ones?........regardless......i am content to listen to the prattle about test matches and on to next rounds.....until 7:00 am when the devil's own radio show comes on ......calling all pets......oy.....produced in wisconsin, it would seem......and featuring an endless series of call-in questions about dog and cat care/feeding/training......i always leap out of bed when i hear the telltale theme music.........
