A Love Like Ours Is Rare: Transmission 429, 2018 October 17

It has been a recurring blessing in my life that the timing of things just sort of works out. This has held true even (or maybe especially) in cases of ignorance or negligence--finding about this or that thing too late has led to some other opportunity, procrastinating on something has ensured that it is consummated at just the right time, etc. It is the latter case that I am considering here--just in time for Annual Gifting Day, almost as a present to myself, my program suddenly turns good again. Had I gotten around to editing and posting this October transmission in a timely manner, who knows how it would have struck me, what I would have felt?

I was surprised, listening back to this, that at first I continued in my recent, awful habit of punctuating every segue with my voice. But at some point I just sort of abandoned this tactic and "found" the truer path of doing extended backannouncements over ambient or dance tracks (apologies, ambient and dance content creators). It is so much better when I just let the segues speak for themselves. Don't get me wrong; there are still plenty of clunkers here. But it seems to me like I carry these off with more humor and aplomb than I have exhibited recently. YMMV.

Admittedly, it would be nice if I could learn to pronounce things correctly, if I could avoid getting tongue-tied, and if I could properly and consistently distinguish between band names and song titles. But there's still time to develop those skills. Isn't there?
