Welcome to Rates and Barrels. It's Monday, November 30th. Happy fourth birthday to my golden doodle hazel. She's a very good

girl. Derek Van Riper here with Eno Seris. Post- Thanksgiving weekend, I've finally cleared out

the excess of desserts that I had in my fridge for the last couple of days. And, you know, as you

can appreciate as a fellow runner, I have put myself on a course

to hopefully run 100K before the end of the year.

Not all at once, just stretched out over the last month of the year.

I got five in on Sunday night, so I'm counting that.

So 95 to go before the year ends. I love how runners

suddenly love kilometers. I love kilometers so much. Everything seems so much more impressive

than kilometers. Yeah, if I said I was going to run 60 miles, you're like, oh, it's kind of good,

but 100K sounds like a nice milestone.

The, um, I think we're all kind of struggling with too many leftovers given these situation with this Thanksgiving.

I did have my dad over, uh, just one person over.

Um, and so it was kind of hard.

I found like the smallest turkey and we cut some sides and we like just, I mean, because

we're eating for like five or six people and the kids aren't going to eat crap.

So like, you know, we just, we tried to make a small Thanksgiving meal, which is really

difficult.

And I made some really key mistakes.

And I'm happy to actually have made them in 2020 because they're much easier to shove

under the rug.

And now I know a lot better about certain things.
