9. Triumphs, failures, holidays, time (Jan. 17, 2020)
2023/08/23
Jeremy and I start this episode with intent to examine our wins and losses from the decade, and our goals for the future, but it gets out of control. Instead we diss formal education, our dating history and the holidays, all while we putter around in the wood shop and deliver some furniture deep into the Adirondacks in an F550 box truck (enjoy the low rumble of I-87)!
