I always seem to find time to listen to Radio 4's Today Programme in the morning, it can be pretty heavy stuff at 6 in the morning (especially in these economically turbulent times). Luckily there was a shaft of sunlight in the form of author Jonathan Franzen.
Franzen was referring to the current global financial crisis, and, instead of the usual doom-mongering the BBC are fond of broadcasting, came an inspiring message; "We're entering some bad times financially, but maybe some good times creatively and artistically"
Seems like a good credo to me.
Incidentally, Jonathan was initially being interviewed about Charlie Brown – it's well worth a listen.
Unfortunately the next article was all about the death of blogging. Not what I needed to hear the day after I've started my own!
