The Longest Shortest Time

EPISODE #61: I’ve Got News 3

On Tom’s 47th birthday, his daughter Ellen drove home from college with her boyfriend to deliver the news: the pill had failed her. She was keeping the baby, dropping out of school, and moving home.

In this episode, you’ll hear grandpa’s side of the story. And what he said to the boyfriend when they walked through the dark house together at 2:00 in the morning.
