@_MarkAllen I found this half-asleep message emailed to myself this morning. It was spoken into my phone last night, by me, at around 4AM

Just saw an old, old boyfriend as the model used in the fake picture in a frame for sale at WalMart. I should buy it and put it on my desk.

My story about the time in the 80’s I drove to Austin naked and the cops found “drugs” in my car (originally recorded live as part of Kevin Allison’s Risk!, at 92Y Tribeca in NYC) is airing on NPR’s new storytelling program Snap Judgment this week, as part of their Road Trip show. Check the show’s website (or NPR’s) for terrestrial stations (it airs in NYC on WNYC), or you can download the podcast of the show on here.
UPDATE: Here’s the audio of the show on Snap Judgement’s site.
