Noel --

    I really enjoyed your post -- I could have written the first two
    paragraphs myself. The only thing that I find is that if the story
    on NPR is really good, the work slows down and the concentration
    shifts to the information coming in. Then I can forget my plan or
    where I was on my piece !! A recent "Fresh Air" show interviewing
    David Sadaris is a good example. His stories of why he writes and his
    current fascination with spiders was so intriguing that I had to stop
    and do something more mindless (hand sanding) so I could focus on the
    show. 

    My husband and I are fairly active in our community and occasionally
    an issue comes up that needs a lot of attention and thought. I have
    discovered that when I have something like that to focus on I need
    music in the background when I am working on jewelry. Can't have the
    talking in my head and on the radio. Guess that says there can be
    only so many "drunken monkeys" in the studio at once !! 

I predict there's lots of us.....
Deb
