“What is a ‘programmer’?” Emily asked.

“A programmer is a diviner of possible outcomes, and a seer of unseen worlds.”

That’s from Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, a novel, by Gabrielle Zevin.

It’s a good story. I recommend it.

Isn’t that a pretty good description of your job?

Don’t you want to create a listening experience for your town that reflects back something your listeners have never heard before?

Don’t you want to leave them hopeful and encouraged and feeling better for listening to you?

If not, why should they listen?
