Yes! RSL read Portal ... The Eudora Welty story wasn't part of the show I saw, though.

Thanks for posting!

I also heard it in a different context -- It was the last of four stories that were all dealing with the same subject, of people trying to escape their hum-drum lives and having it backfire. So by that point, I was getting a little bored. Plus, RSL's story had the least amount of humor, which disappointed me. I did think he gave the best performance, however -- though it's possible I'm biased :)
