Radio made me do it

When this introvert, who is normally quite happy typing away all day does a rare radio interview.

My fault really, I’d been flying under the radio of local radio for so long until I sent in a random text message. The host was asking what we did during the latest Covid lockdown. Me, I bragged I’d made the finalists for ROMANTIC BOOKS OF THE YEAR.

First, I never brag like this-unless to close friends, family and Facebook!

And the fact I was in range to actually text…

For the record, I didn’t text while driving. The passenger did it, so I blame her. The child made me do it.

“…so I blame her. The child made me do it. “

Radio Communicado

(Is that even a word?)

Of course, the radio people didn’t speak to me that day. We’d never left our names like we were some silly stalker. (That’s a facepalm moment!)

But they did text me back a few days later requesting to talk to me some more.

For a classic lurker to get vocal, umm… that never happens.

This was OH MY GOD…. Wringing my slippery sweaty hands while racing around the kitchen table a dozen times like a toddler on a sugar rush!

I’m not going to do it.

I wasn’t going to do it.

Why should I do it.

Did I have to do it.

Do I want to do it.

Could I not do it.

But I did it.

Last Sunday.

Topics discussed:

I don’t remember.

It went by in such a blur. I do know I was concentrating so hard, hoping my tongue didn’t swell and that I was speaking cohesive English.

Oh yeah, Die Hard was mentioned! Not as a Christmas Movie, but a romance.

How romantic. (And that’s another slap to the forehead moment too!)

Snap-on some headphones

Snap-on some headphones, load up on the ice cream, popcorn, or coffee. Heck, have ‘em all I say.

Then take a listen and laugh because I sound like I might know my mojo.

Might—right?

Did I hear your eye roll?
