89.3

I was listening to an interview with Edward Jones on the radio behind the cash register. He is the author of Lost In The City, All Aunt Hagar's Children, and won a Pulitzer for The Known World. He said some nice things. "If you write you are a writer, even if you are never published." And, "If you start to think too much of yourself, that's the beginning of the end." He made me glad the CD player is broke.

Finishing Up The Pitcher

A homeless lady who has been around 17th and G Streets NW for about a year, helped us finish the last of the beer at Goldie's Italiano. I like her but often ignore her because she wants me to buy her cigarettes. (She has the same birthday as me, Jan. 16.)

Anthony Radio

Anthony Radio (who sits next to the Baptist church Dumpster between 16th and 17th St.s NW) stops by the CyberSTOP patio to talk about his love of music.
"I just sit there and listen to my music. I just sit there. I don't bother anybody."
If you have any R&B or easy listening CDs you want to get rid of leave them for Anthony Radio by his Dumpster (near Johns Hopkins Mass. Ave. Campus). He doesn't like, "... music with swearing and cursing that bothers people."
