Today is NAURU Awareness Day! So…. in an effort to be painfully aware of Nauru I did a little research. Nauru is an island in Micronesia in the South Pacific… and speaking of South Pacific. I have decided that I am going to force my offspring to watch “South Pacific” with me this weekend and teach her to sing “Wash That Man…” a la Mitzi Gaynor in the shower. I can’t really think of a better way to celebrate the island of Nauru. Come to think of it… I just might be a sailor for Halloween….
The second part of this ridiculous segue is I believe I will hunt down some “Cherries in the Snow” Revlon nail polish. The lovely lady that played Mitzi’s part in my high school production of South Pacific would not have been caught dead without bright red nails.
Excitement on the side 
If you missed it, you gotta go to thislife.org and listen to their episode about Nauru…
It’s episode 253: The Middle of Nowhere, you have to listen online, or i can ichat the file to you if Ira says its OK…
I love Ira Glass.
