    Two things. First, I'm still learning about podcasting. Playing around with audio. That's why the sound levels here go up and down and stuff. Sorry about that. The technician responsible has been shot.

    Marcus,
    The closest I can get to the Brooklyn Bridge is I once interviewed a descendant of John Roebling, the guy who designed the bridge. Roebling also designed and built the Waco Suspension Bridge in Waco, Texas.

    Sam, I've been on the Waco suspension bridge! It's a neat thing!

    Real Live Preacher, Whitman is really really amazing. And he was thinking about you, man.

    Marcus,

    I too.
    I too.

    I love Whitman and I LOVED listening to you read him. It was mesmorizing. It made me happy. It left me wishing you would record Leaves of Grass (yup, the whole thing...seriously, you should consider it!)
    It also made me sad that you are not still in a classroom. I think this is now one of my favorite posts of yours.
