Get Smart!

Late posting, last minute family taxi needed. Always love that late, late call as you measure up whether to be hard-hearted parent versus always-willing parent. Tough dad v pushover dad. Rarely a contest here. Usually feebleness wins. Maybe there’ll be payback time one day (not that that is the motive, oh no). Anyway, now on the train, he reports that the driver is arguing with his wife on his phone. He know this because the intercom has been left on. This feels like a confession in the making...

Meantime Jo has Madonna on her show tonight which is very good news. 1) because Jo will do a great job and 2) because twice is enough. I’ve tried on 2 occasions to do a good interview with Madge and failed both times. The first one I went to Paris for was really poor and the second was only slightly poor so I’m happy to bow out gracefully.

Another top tunes day after 6 and your songs on BEING SMART. Yesterday we had a listener understandably thrilled with her son’s IQ measurement of 162. So today we’ll look more at how you can measure intelligence and also offer a side order of INTELLIGENT oldies.

Meantime I’m switching my phone off..
