For those who subscribe, like me, to XM radio come July 14 XM's Air America channel is going to be changing names and lineups.  I've been thinking this might happen sooner or later.  Sooner has won out over later.

This is my first diary.  It is not a political diary.  Yes, the title is in regard to the movie from a few years ago, "Lost in Translation".  I saw this movie when it was out in theaters.  In fact I remember the day that my wife and I saw it- it happened to be the same day the the Chicago Cubs clinched the Central Division back in '03 (as a Cubs fan, I distinctly remember that fateful day and how that Cubs baseball season ended up).  I look back at this late hour or the night and remember the bittersweet feeling I felt afer watching that movie.
