Turn Off the Radio

I've gotten tired of radio, pure and simple. Of course, I've never been much of a radio listener to begin with: I usually space out so I don't notice when it's commercials instead of music, I can stomach only so much "talk" radio, and the only time I've ever been pulled over was when I ran a red while fiddling with the tuner. Nevertheless, I've gotten into the habit of listening to WAMU (the local NPR affiliate) in the morning on the way to work and 107.3 in the afternoon. But it's all over now. After school today, I turned off the radio, rolled down the windows, and just listened to the rush of the air. It was soothing, settling, relaxing. Maybe it's just one step away from all the stress that tends to heap up on us during the day, maybe it's just one step closer to riding my bike, maybe I'm just tired of of a worn-out routine, maybe I'm just wanting to be outside rather than inside... In any case, I'm not turning on the radio again!
