It was great hearing from you again, and glad you and family had a great time in Oregon. I have to agree that the Columbia gorge area is simply beautiful and quite a relaxing drive. Did you get a chance to see Multnomah Falls?

Glad to hear you recording again! Believe me, I know what it's like to need that break to get refreshed after bogging yourself down for so long. I can relate to alot of the things you were talking about. It might have been for you that since Oregon is so green, that you were in need of that. That's why it felt so 'downing' to return to the concrete jungle of Tokyo. Keep up the good work and don't feel too pressured to deliver on the CTC's.

HAHAHA
Great episode Scott, its great to see Tokyo Calling being downloaded onto my itunes again.
Im glad to hear that you really enjoyed your stay in America, especially since you seemed rather worried about heading over to the states.
Oh and I think you "rambling" while sitting in the park are some of my favorite episodes, especially when I'm sitting in my office trying to work and I hear the park sounds in the background. Makes me want to go outside and just hang out.
Cool man, cant wait for the next one, keep it up.

So, if you go back to Oregon again, will there be a "Oregon Calling" podcast?
