And thank you so much for joining us. Once again, it is the Nightly Pleasures podcast episode

111. Strange number. How odd it is that I actually listened to a podcast and I really enjoyed it

years ago, pack on Apple's podcasting app, iTunes, and why we still call it podcasting to this day for no good reason.

And it stopped at episode 110, and that's all I could think about.

And I know you don't care, but yeah, I just think it's so strange, especially since I had to

take a couple of hiatuses, and it's been a weird winding path here. Don't mean to talk too much

about me, especially before the beginning of an episode, just wanted to say, welcome to

a new episode, welcome to a new year, and here's to having a lot more fun in it. I plan to be

making some announcements and some changes, changes that

you'll all find positive, no matter what kind of content you like from me. Slowly,

surely ramping and rolling them out. I have made mistakes in the past by being over-eager

about dates and times and what I could push myself to do.

But I'm older and wiser now, and I've been doing this for so many years now,

that I think I've learned a lesson or two.

But enough teasing and enough talking about what's just going through my head.

I want to talk about what's going through yours.

You see, I really want to do this to you.

I really want it.

And if I really want to do this to you, then why are you concerned over it?

Do you really need me to soothe you to explain myself?

Why I'm so invested? Why I want this from you so much?

What it means to me?
