Every night Bossy suffers a long commute home from work, which begins at 5:01 pm and goes until late-thirty.
Which is why Bossy is always delighted when she finds something distracting on her radio. And tonight that distraction was Nina Totenberg doing a piece on NPR about the new Kennedy Center Pipe Organ.
You see, according to Nina Totenberg, every night for the past three months while the Kennedy Center sleeps, two men enter.
And one of those men would sit at the organ, while the other would go inside.
“The organ looks big,” narrates Nina Totenberg. “But you have no idea how big.”
The two men assigned to the organ work side by side. One sits on the organ while the other goes in and around the organ, opening and closing its holes and moving the pipe around.
“The two men switch off roles from time to time” says Nina of the Nina Totenbergs. “If you just stay at the organ, it’s too easy to fall asleep.”
And finally, according to El Nina Los Totenberg, an organ starts off very humbly and small, but the more you play with it, the more it grows until it becomes a full-blown instrument.

November 27, 2012 at 8:37 pmNo, it’s not just you. That piece was way porny.
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
November 27, 2012 at 10:56 pmNo, it is not just Bossy.
I think I need a cigarette.
(p.s. I don’t smoke.)

Jenn @ Juggling Life says
November 28, 2012 at 1:32 amI cannot do NPR anymore as I am terrified of hearing news of any sort. That on top of the commute would put me over the edge.
Who knew what I was missing!
Tawny says
November 28, 2012 at 11:30 amI have seen that organ and it is indeed BIG!
joeinvegas says
November 28, 2012 at 12:54 pmYes, it is just you. Or I thought so until reading the other comments.
Harbormom says
November 28, 2012 at 1:07 pmBut Bossy, why can’t you just cut across on City Avenue?
(and I, too, found the piece (!) to be full of double entendres; tee hee)
Lynn says
November 28, 2012 at 3:17 pmWell the way Bossy writes it, it’s obvious! However, I’m thinking had I heard it on NPR it probably wouldn’t have sounded that way. That’s waaaay too long of a commute….
Lynn says
November 28, 2012 at 3:20 pmNow if Nina had said. “While the traffic throbs and pulses on your commute, let me stroke you and enlarge your perspective…..” etc. etc. I’d have thought she was “doing it” on purpose…hmmm once I start hearing things THAT way it just never ends! Thanks a bunch, Bossy. (not)
RD says
November 28, 2012 at 9:28 pmI think it’s Bossy! She’s been reading too much Shades of Grey, and is getting frustrated on that long, hot commute. So why not cut across on City Ave?
Meg @ Soup Is Not A Finger Food says
December 4, 2012 at 6:54 pmOh mah gah, so naughty! I’m sorry I missed this on NPR!
Ally says
December 8, 2012 at 5:20 pmIt’s definitely Bossy who needs to get some organ on.
