Whether you're a driver, bicyclist or pedestrian, there's likely something that drives you nuts about the road. As part of our upcoming series, we want to hear your story.

Bean Trees and Animal Dreams! I did not care for Poisonwood Bible. Maybe it was the space I was in at the time, but I found it extremely troubling.

Oregon Public Broadcasting- OPB If you're stuck inside this weekend because of the weather, here's something to fight off that cabin fever: NORAH JONES new, yet-to-be released CD. Give it a listen!

Source: www.npr.org
Jones' new album, The Fall, maintains her jazzy, sultry sound while pushing into more contemporary pop territory. It's a different direction for the singer, but suitable for old fans and newcomers alike. Hear The Fall in its entirety.

I like this sound, different for Norah but all suited to her voice. I still like the old ballads she does though.

Jennifer McDonnell I was so thrilled to hear the interview with Dave Eggers and Valentino on Eggers' What is the What. It was such an engaging and humbling story, and I almost cried when I heard Valentino's voice. Is the interview available online anywhere?

Will not miss putting potatoes in the garden this year! They were talking to me but I was listening to the spaghetti squash and cucumbers too much.The challenge is on:growing enough for the whole family for a whole year is not asking too much!

Read the book, enjoyed the show. I have to smile thinking about how his last name is Pollan (vs. pollen) and how well that goes with botany.
