Hello and welcome to the back-to-back podcast. It's Thursday, and that means it's me,

your host, Dave DeFore, and my co-pilot, coach David Thorpe, and this is Nerd, She Wrote.

Coach, happy New Year.

Happy New Year's here.

What did you do, New Year's Eve?

You know what?

I was actually in Florida.

I went one of our good friends that worked with my wife in Germany has just relocated back to the States, and he's living in

Destin. So we went there for New Year's and hung out. It was a good time. It was a pretty good time.

That's barely Florida just here. I know. It's Florida, right? And it was really foggy and kind of gross. So we were, we were a little bit bummed out.

We thought we might get some sunshine. But we did take the dog to the beach. And that was interesting.

Beautiful beaches, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. What about you? What did you do?

We used to have a monstrous party. And then as our kids got older, we had like 75 people one year.

It was just too much.

So we just had some neighbors come over.

And I actually drank a good amount, which I don't typically do that anymore.

But it was New Year's.

So we had, I had some gin.

I had some old fashions.

I had more gin and then champagne

with a little bourbon. I had no, we actually drank

from a good rye for other old fashioned. It was good.
