Hello

If you find out what "Shrek" means I'd be interested to know.

I noticed it's a bit like "Shriek" and I was wondering if that was a deliberate reference to the usual reaction of "normal people" to Shrek.

Did it remind you of Heidi and her grumpy old Grandfather? I thought of that with the donkey chattering away incessantly and Shrek didn't want to know; very similar I thought. That was only the beginning though, of course.

I was listening to NPR just after the election a lot because the other station I usually listen to was so politically biased it was taking my appetite away. I went back to it when election fervour was over and it hasn't been a problem since then. But meanwhile I discovered what a fabulous station NPR is. We're very fortunate to have a station network like NPR.

regards,
