Well... the day started very early... 3am to be precise... thanks to a leak in our bedroom that decided to drop H2O on Jen's beauty sleep! (Don't worry. Our home-from-college-kids slept til noon!)
Ah yes, the wonders of atmospheric rivers in Southern California... They just don't make roofs like they used to!
But other than that, Christmas Eve is moving nicely towards a fun evening with Santa, his reindeer, and gifts under the tree on Christmas day!
Our serious topics include:
1 - The latest "Avatar" Movie (and a side-note on running-times).
2 - Chris Nolan's upcoming "The Odyssey" adaptation.
And
3 - A follow-up on the Brown University tragedy and the always unfolding Adventures-in-the-Epstein-Files saga.
Please sit around the fire, grab a glass of eggnog, and enjoy the latest episode of PLATE & PONDER: Empty-Nesting with Jen & Chris Fenton!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
