#139 - A Christmas Carol - Part One

ERIK IRELAND
About this episode

By multiple requests, a sleepy reading of the Charles Dickens holiday classic. 

I took another sunrise walk with Bodhi this week. When the fog broke, we got a beautiful view of the moon setting behind the ridge. I posted some pictures and a video on the blog at https://www.listentosleep.com/blog/sunrise-moonset/
