It's 2018 and I'm on the very tail end of my five-week adventure in Thailand. I've been teasing it for a few weeks and today is the day I finally share the full story of my best love story (and, as a special treat, I read a rough draft of my Modern Love essay!) 

In this episode, I spontaneously decide to read from page 97/98 of my memoir, Salt and Sour, because there is an important story that is allllll connected. Oh yea, baby, there's a TWIST!

I hope you enjoy this insanely romantic love story about the time I fell head-over-heels for a drummer from California in an airport/airplane. There's lots of gushing and tears and laughter in this one. Thanks for listening!!
