The gals start off talking about the challenges of dealing with technology in their current projects, but quickly get side-tracked by the happenings on the world. It's hard to believe and take it all in. Keep learning, remain relevant, participate, and work towards positivity! Tina also shares the new direction her adventures are directed.

Tina ends the year with a whirlwind involving a 12-year old, snow, a detour, chains, a feral cat escaping their crate during a nine hour + car ride south. This is followed by nine hours + travel back north, visiting one of the largest candy stores, canceled flight, and a CO2 scare. All of it was a delight, however the lack of sleep "makes insomnia seem restful"!

Season 2 of Re-tired New Tread wraps as silliness transpires in the last episode of the year! Tina reveals that "reading makes me feel more colorful", and Sue loses the controls to the podcast to AI. Mad Libs might be involved, but Tina does not get raunchy, although she does drop the F-bomb. Then there is a spot of magical realism as Tina responds to the many inquiries of our listeners. Wishing you good cheer for the New Year.

Rants and pet peeves are not just for everyday, they can take on a holiday spirit! From decorating before Thanksgiving, to negotiating time to spend with grown daughters, to food and traditions! Yes, the holidays may be stressful, but the gals are both happy to have them. Wishing you the best navigating your holidays!

Tina and Sue revisit poetry by Andrea Gibson, this time reading 'A Plea for Our Planet'. The gals discuss their fear that today's kids are missing out in the delight and wonder that we're all supposed to have with nature. We're trying to hold on to belief in humankind. Andrea's poetry brings forward the power of our connection to nature being what might save us.
