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.

No, it’s not just you. That piece was way porny.
No, it is not just Bossy.
I think I need a cigarette.
(p.s. I don’t smoke.)
No me gusta La Nina!
That was better than roses on my piano!
I 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!
I have seen that organ and it is indeed BIG!
Yes, it is just you. Or I thought so until reading the other comments.
But 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)
Well 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….
Now 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)
I 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?
Oh mah gah, so naughty! I’m sorry I missed this on NPR!
It’s definitely Bossy who needs to get some organ on.
