A Fireside Chat

This episode was recorded on Christmas Eve 2021.

As a gift to myself, I'm not writing a description of this episode.

Just sit back, get an adult beverage and let me fill your earholes with holiday cheer.

Last episode before the holidays and I'm drinking my troubles away as I talk with you.

I discuss my feelings about the holiday season and how I feel like an alien lost in Christmasland. I verbally try to navigate through the weight of anxiety that rests on my chest every year around this time and then I dive into the mailbag for questions and stories about resolutions, being a better person, my newfound respect for the Beatles and much more.

We wrap up with a story that I probably wouldn't share if not for the white russians in my belly about something that happened to me recently that I can't quite explain.
