No, this isn’t an actual “roadtrip” post, though there will be more of those next week, as various parts of the Cohn clan hit the road for Nevada, Boston, New Hampshire and points east.

But – in my opinion – it’s a damn good use of time spent staring at a computer screen. Particularly the first 15 minutes, where Fry talks about the importance of other. It’s a bit of a lecture that I know I would do well to listen to each morning. And the bit about kindness.
