Thoughts from your host…

Greeting from the end of a long weekend that your host gave himself in-honour of turning one year older! And welcome to a chance to discuss one of my all-time favourite films.

Birthdays are a funny thing – as you get older they seem less and less a cause for celebration (unless it’s a number divisible by ten). So, knowing that, I have generally kept my recent celebrating to myself – going out of town, getting tattoos, going to a concert or a ballgame. Fun times, if a little more downplayed that what I used to do growing-up.

This year though, even that seemed like something I couldn’t muscle as I’m still a little hungover from my European trip of a life time – and work has been a little tricky lately. So even just days before my nameday, I couldn’t seem to settle on a plan!

This is where friends like Hillary come in; kind folks that are really giving of their time and cherish the nature of real face time (the action, not the app). They make you feel cared-for, and make you feel valued. They join in on reindeer games like podcasts and are kind enough to gather for a drink or even a dinner.

This was a great conversation as part of a great weekend. Hopefully y’all enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it – it’s my birthday gift to you!
