Coming shows can feature your own story or dream or poem or essay or 
kvetch or announcement. Just email it to me. Or send me a link to your 
writing project and I'll take it from there and read it on the air. 
That's what I'm here for.

Besides all that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not-necessarily radio-useful but 
worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the show together, 
such as:

on Thursday but I've been too sick and weak from pneumonia and various 
blood disorders to do anything but sleep. It's a simple, one bedroom 
apartment in San Ysidro. Once I'm on my feet, I'll fix it up and have it 
ready for visitors. Thank you for your moral support in this dark, 
difficult time. More later. Love, Alex." Here it is, classy, fresh, not

A paean to Silent Running, a movie that made a big impression on me when 
I was thirteen. I don't even remember what the double feature was with 
it that week. I remember throwing up earlier that day because my mother 
brought a big container of leftover tepid shrimp and sauce home from 
after an Amway presentation, and I had never had shrimp before. I ate 
about a quart of it. It might have been entirely fine and not poison at 
all, but it didn't agree with me. That was one of the times I used the 
trick my grandmother taught me when I was five, for when a bottle or 
container or whatever you're working on starts leaking or spraying, or 
you're suddenly sick, and the bathroom or the door outside are too far 
away: get a wastebasket, or spread your jacket out. Anything easier to 
clean and less problematical than the furnace grate in the hallway, you 
little pig.
