Attempts at Friendship in Your 40s

This week's caller is an avid kayaker with a Friday night all to himself. He tries not to make this episode about kayaking, but come on, when you're this passionate about something, it's going to show up. If you're not into kayaking, don't worry. This one's also about being lonely, making friends in your 40s, and the need for real-world community when everything seems designed to keep us isolated.
