“The Charlie Rose Show”

How do gardeners stay in shape over the winter?  I know I’d be fatter and more sluggish without my treadmill, and without this cute, smart-as-hell Southern gentleman the treadmill would spend more time folded up in the corner.  Charlie interviews like no one else, for better or worse, and some are annoyed by his conversational style and too-long questions.  But where else do you get writers and architects and IT geniuses, politics, lots of foreign policy and only the occasional actor (and never a reality show celebrity, thank god)?  Admittedly, sometimes my thirst for knowledge stops at the one-hour interview with Turkey’s foreign minister, and I’ve come to terms with not being as intellectually curious as Charlie is.  But I keep the old VCR whirring every night and with a little help from my favorite gardening shows, I have just enough entertainment to keep me from going crazy during my workouts.
