This 48 minute recording is a long-winded retelling of how my eldest daughter and I spent a wonderful sunny Sunday afternoon in late October. We saw quite a few interesting things along the way as we went to the National Science Museum in Ueno.

Tokyo Calling Episode 098

This 43 minute flattop-cast features your host mindlessly blathering about a variety of mundane topics. Listening back to myself droning on about marking papers, getting a haircut, eating the new Halloween Special edition caramel Kit-Kat, feeling content, reading to my daughter, and playing chess makes me cringe. I honestly can't imagine how or why good folks such as yourselves can endure such stuff.

If there's one thing I've learned in reading comments and emails from subscribers over the past three years, it's that this is the sort of stuff that many people enjoying listening to.

I think I've finally starting to feel comfortable with that.
