This is Timothy Gordon, announcing a new section of Aristotle's Ethics Live, beginning January the 19th, taught by me in person on Zoom.

It's going to be Tuesday nights at seven for the whole family. All ages are

welcome. Aristotle's Nicomachian Ethics is life-changing. Learn it with me on Tuesday nights.

For more information, go to the Enroll tab on Timothy J.Gordon.com. What's up, parish orphans and retrogrades? Timothy Gordon here with you today with a special guest, a friend of the show, quite frankly. My buddy Frank is here, and I'm happy to see him. Try to Christmas. What's up? What's up, thank? Tim, I'm great. It feel great to come on with you.

It's the first time we've done this in a long time.

And I just feel like getting together with you is going to make something feel a little bit more

Christmasy.

We're having a hard time getting in the mood around here.

You can tell people that are externally trying to get back to something that feels good.

There's a lot more lights out this year than there were in the last couple of years.

But still, it's like, it almost was like it's shell homes, like a Potemkin village where

there's, there's a, there's sets, all, movie sets all around you, but no people were so reclusive.

It's just, it's just such a weird,

weird year. There's no way to escape it. There's no way to escape. There's no way to escape saying

that this is the weirdest year on record, weirdest year of our lives as Christmas approaches

the Advent season, which is, you know, second most important liturgical season of the year. It's just, it's just weird.

Like you said, it's an empty shell.

It's like an empty movie set.

I like that a lot.

And it's got to be worse than New York, ain't it?

Yeah.

I mean, we're, this is, we are, I guess, walking shoulder to shoulder with the same kind of lunatics
