Episode Notes:

This week I'm reading you an essay about hurry, surfing, autocorrect, and the surprisingly specific fear of missing my own life while I'm living it.

Also featured: a Portuguese actor who does commercials for something I thought was something else, a Beatles ensemble that meets in a Lisbon institute for an autonomous Spanish region (yes really), and the first time I stood up on a surfboard on my own.

Plus — stick around to the end for something I've never shared here before. I recorded myself singing harmony to a song I fell asleep to last night. It's not perfect but it's mine.
