So glad you are hanging in there despite the difficulties of the radiation treatments. Wishing you pain free days and a quick return of your energy once all the treatments are done.

I know what you mean about Kai Ryssdal's voice. Very sexy. To my ear, many of the NPR voices are spectacular in various (not sexy) ways. I could listen to Robert Siegel all day, such a calming, friendly sound to his voice. And I love all stories about Italy and the Vatican so much more when Sylvia Poggioli is speaking them. Also, I don't know what it is about Elizabeth Arnold's voice from many years ago that appeals to me...OK, I'll stop :)
