  • Summary


  • In this premiere episode, I interviewed my good friend Dan Greef from England.

    I met Dan in 2018 through the Keto community and we became good friends.

    I asked him to define a handful of British slang (and a couple of non-slang) words and phrases, and hilarity ensued.

    I shared a song (New England in the Wintertime) that I wrote in 2001 (I think) inspired by being in a cozy house with family and a group of friends at a low-key New Year's Eve gathering in Connecticut. The forest was blanketed with several inches of snow while the fire roared inside. It was magical.

    New England in the Wintertime

    We found ourselves in peril out where the best relief is just to freeze

    The snow hangs on the gallows. The nuthatch wings to a warmer gentle breeze

    Where evergreens stand like soldiers amid the smell of comrades set ablaze

    And tiny bombs of white fire rain down upon us from the canopy

    The backlit woods before us, we lead our horses into paradise

    The blood-red moon adores us. The souls of old friends keep us occupied

    The path will always be here if only covered by the fallen snow

    We come to Roselyn lake and the cold air scrapes our faces to the bone

    The ice has thinned in places. My horse reminds me and sticks to the shore

    The stillness is disarming. We start to believe there is no danger here

    The evening sun is falling. It melts away in crimson and golden tones

    At dusk, we reach the cottage. Our bodies beaten from the wind and snow

    We'll ring the bell at midnight. Its tarnished bones will come to life again

    There's nothing better than to be with friends In New England in the wintertime
