the Christmas week. Rob, did you have a good holiday with the family? Yeah, yeah, pretty good.

I have to admit, though, it does feel like a strange nether zone that I find myself then because we're recording this between Christmas and New Year's. We've just had some unseasonably warm weather. And, you know, every day feels completely discombobulated. So I have no idea, you know, moment to moment, what day it is,

what season it is, how I fit into the world around me. All I know is that we have a certain

amount of listener mail to get to. But how about yourself? How was your holiday? Oh, you know,

I had a great time with the family. I loved to see and everybody. We, you know, did some, I did some cooking and some hosting. And then we also had the different little family gatherings, which were very nice. Though on Christmas day itself of, you know, I think it was the same for you all. It was like in the 70s and I had a cold. So it was just, oh, it kind of gross. But, uh, but yeah, you know, good holiday times.

And not a single exploding lollipop or, or flying material was found.

Excellent. Yeah, I think, I think Santa Claus has, has really been forced via various environmental

laws to, um, to really tightly contain his various miracle candies.

So they do not phone to the hands of the children.
