This is the maybe the closest Melanie and I have ever cut it in terms of getting an episode out on time, but travel has interfered with our recording schedule this week. The good news, though, is that we had a lot of catching up to do, and recording an episode is a fine way to do that. We cover a lot of ground - my trip to NYC, the kids getting home for Christmas, and our continued deep thoughts and feelings about Taylor and Travis.

We also talk about what we have coming up in our January book club on Patreon, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!
