Retreat!

Mike Birbiglia - First Girlfriend (by GameOverGreco)

Finally updated Safari/iTunes so I can download podcasts again. One podcast I subscribe to now is the radio program, This American Life. (And I am crazy for not subscribing right away when I first heard about it!) So, I just finished listening to #411: First Contact, the first act being a stand-up piece/short story by Mike Birbiglia about his first kiss (beginning 10 minutes into the podcast if you want to listen). Sad and funny.

This audio/video is of another story from Birbiglia’s book, Sleepwalk With Me and Other Painfully True Stories. (Another book on my to-read list.) Heartbreaking and funny.
