One of the advantages to the redecorating is that the stereo has been moved so that the reception is positively wonderful.  No fuzz, not static, no fading in and out.  Pretty cool.  Because of that I have had NPR on all day.  One of the annual events on Morning Edition is the reading of the Declaration of Independence.  If you have not heard it, I recommend it.  It is very, very moving.
