In this delayed episode, Paul Ald introduces the new cat (Eve), reviews the Christmas cookies he made last month, and talks about Buttermilk, recent books read or started, the fact that reading books at cafes is awesome, Liberty puzzles kind of suck, and finding an area like MKE's Fifth Ward in Denver. The outro music is Guitar Concerto in E Minor, Op. 140 by Ferdinando Carulli.
