If it’s before 11:40 a.m. Eastern, then consider this post a notice that at least one and maybe both of us will be on The Brian Lehrer show on WNYC at that time.
If it’s 11:40 or after, and you’re a Brian Lehrer Show listener, here’s a link to participate in our Six Words contest collaboration with SmithMag. (Obviously everybody is welcome, not just Lehrer listeners, but I promised I’d link.) Create Significance for the lighter that looks like a small pool ball, pictured at right. Give it a shot! Deadline is 8 pm Eastern, Friday November 6. The winner gets the proceeds when we auction the story/object next week.
And as long as you’re here, check out our current auctions.
I gather an audio archive of the show will be posted here.
A caller mentioned about commissioning a writer to assist in creating meaning for items they already own. It’s a bit like hiring an advertising agency for items you already own to make you feel better about owning them.
