Hello, and thank you so much for joining us once again. It is the Nightly Pleasures podcast. I'm your host and the author of The Peace, and you're about to hear today. Not as big of an intro this time around, because I want to get right to my big old feast, just like you do. Maybe you're digesting now, in which case, shame on you. I put so much work and effort into everything I do.

I try and make you have such a wonderful experience these days. My whole mindset is just based around trying to show gratitude through effort and work and make you feel like you could really enjoy something and hear you are like

you're all like, you'll flump-staffed.

Oh, maybe I'll listen to that guy.

I'm far asleep.

How dare you?

How dare you treat me this way?

I hope you're having a lovely holiday season, no matter where you are in the world,

no matter what you're celebrating, or how much you've eaten, or how sleepy you are right now.

Thank you very much for being a fan.

Thank you very much for being kind to me.

You guys have been just absolutely wonderful lately, a little bit blown away.

Trying my heart is just to embrace that love,

shows little combativeness as possible,, give you the best of me.

I don't really have a lot to say, update-wise, personally speaking.

I have been plugging away at just what I've been talking about the last few months.

I'm doing my crosswords every day from my mind, exercises every day from my

body, fair bit of cooking both new and old. Have you tried pan-fried pasta? Never even heard of it,

but man, I'm all about that shit. Have you tried pumpkin-based sauces instead of tomato?

Huh? Huh?

Never even thought about that shit, but I just did a pumpkin vodka sauce.

Let me tell you something.
