Episode Synopsis

I recorded most of this episode in a park waiting for a meeting and it covers a lot of ground--a 1980s pop music quiz, birthday shout-outs, why I don't jive with opera and classical music, the immorality (and not pragmatic) policy of drone strikes, parks, kids in parks, kids in parks who get up in your grill, the various inanities of life as an English teacher in Japan and, last but not least, my excitement about getting Phish tickets for this summer at the Gorge with my buddy, Dan. Oh, and a brief interlude about what the Democrats really wanted to do last week with the botched Iowa Caucus via a clip from the great Media Roots Radio podcast. Here's the link to the article by Lee Fang I referenced.
And after all that, around the 36-minute mark, chapters 13 and 14 of my 2015 novel, "The Teacher and the Tree Man."
