First, apologies for the three months of radio silence. The Take A Break Podcast took its own break while I moved from Champaign, IL, back to my beloved San Francisco Bay Area. After driving 3506 miles to California, by way of Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Albuquerque, and Arizona, I am finally getting settled and actively looking for work.

Second, I am excited to share with you now the most recent episode of Take A Break. This was an interview I did with my father over the Christmas holidays while I was back in England. Apart from talking about his recent 80th birthday celebrations, we covered a lot of ground, chatting about being a wartime baby in England, his first car, back-packing around the world at the age of 60, and getting his most recent degree at 70. There’s plenty of life left in the old salty dog yet.
