Episode #233: Born Too Late

Is it just me or are the days and nights starting to blur together? As we near the end of the year and prep for our annual rash of special holiday episodes (there are three coming up), here's what I like to call one of our High-Quality Stopgap shows. The music's pretty unassailable, but the effort is charmingly low. Daddy could use a deep-tissue massage at this point, if the tissue hasn't morphed into flakes. Have a go at this one.
