    Dan's road trip part 1

    Hi, Dan here. Sorry it's been a while since we've made any content. I've been going through some stuff and Dov's running on low energy. Anyway. I've seen a level of improvement over the last year and particularly over the last six weeks. So for the next week and a half I'm off on a road trip to meet old friends, meet good friends for the first time and maybe get drunk if I get the opportunity! I'll be recording some ME audio reflections. Maybe not while I'm drunk but that might be fun listening! This episode includes my longest drive in 8 years and the morning after.
