KPCC changed their programming lineup! There’s good news and there’s bad news. First, the good news: A new show called Day to Day starts at 9AM, pushing Airtalk and it’s host – the whiny and unbearably irritating Larry Mantle – back to 10AM.

We got back from the honeymoon on Wednesday. We’ve been opening presents and rearranging stuff around the house since then. I’ve made a point of not checking my email (two weeks worth!) until I get in to work tomorrow. The wedding was perfect, the honeymoon was awesome, and I’ll tell you all about them later!
