Radiohead

I have a new radio, a Bose Wave with a CD player. I'd read a lot about them, how the quality of the sound is comparable to a large system but in a compact size. And everything they said is true. Lovely, clear sound, highs and lows. Right now I'm playing a compilation CD called "Night Tracks." It's all instrumental, some Vaughn Williams, Saint-Saens, J.S. Bach, Copland and others. The size is perfect; takes up less room than the smallish boombox I had there, and pulls in KNBR 680 and the Giants broadcasts loud and clear.

Speaking of the Giants, they won again tonight behind Jonathan Sanchez' brilliant pitching. Fun watching this team with its rookies scramble its way toward making the doomsayers eat their words. Now that the season is in full swing, I spend my evenings listening to and, now that I have cable, watching the games. I manage to have both media—radio on in the kitchen, TV in the living room, so I can hear what each of the broadcasters has to say. There is one funny thing about doing that, though; the radio play-by-play is always ahead of the TV, sometimes by just a few seconds, other times (like tonight), a whole play ahead. It's convenient, though; if I'm in the kitchen or the bedroom and hear somebody gets a hit or makes a spectacular catch, I can dash into the living room and see it as it happens in TV land. Just reinforces my belief that all electronic communication is magic.
