It's like you were there. Just one insignificant correction- It was my idea. I like creepy and disturbing. You would understand if you met me. Re: OTM theme.

My Pavlovian response to ATC was developed as a child when my parents would blast the show for hours. Given the excitement ATC holds for most kids, "da da, da da" became an instant recipe for a nap. Once established, this response has never changed, and I can be a real hazard on the roads if I accidentally tune into ATC. If you live in a town filled with the 30-something children of the semi-elite, I would advise staying off the road at the top of the hour (and seemingly every two minutes after that), during the 6 or 7 hours your local NPR affiliate probably devotes to ATC.

We shall indeed cherish it. But if you would just please send us a new one. I left the last one on the x-ray belt at LaGuardia. By the way, as to the provenance of the OTM "melody," what you deduced is pretty much correct. Thank you for the Baggie. We shall indeed cherish it. But if you would just please send us a new one.
