Keeping Homesickness At Bay — One NPR Show at a Time...

It's really funny, thanks to the Internet and listening to my favorite radio station no matter where I am, it doesn't feel like I'm as far away from people as I am.

When I come into work, I listen to the previous weekday's Talk of the Nation and Fresh Air, before turning on WBUR and listening to the live broadcast from Boston. The time zone difference does make for some discomforting things: everyone at work is asking about lunch, but because the radio is talking about the drive into work, I don't even think of food at the moment. Then at the end of the day, the radio is talking about lunch time.

*Shrug* Anything that makes missing home a little easier is a good thing, I guess.
