Morgan’s first time in Europe! And second time on the pod—since the wife laughed so hard at the first episode (got a new listener!) there had to be a sequel. Which is never as good. But this isn’t the movies.
We talk about going to Europe at age 50. Why he waited so long. And what happened with a bathroom attendant in Prague that caught him off guard.
Then there’s Morgan’s latest obsession—timepieces. Or what you and I call “watches.” He’s thinking of passing a watch down to his son as an heirloom. And I share a story of buying a fake Rolex in Thailand
This one went long. Hope you enjoy!
