Went back home for some fam time earlier this week. Our niece told us she’s “so excited for trick or treating.” Toddlers are funny. Though we don’t have any of our own, we like to think we’re pretty good with kids. Because they’re original. Not filled with cliches. Yet. And that goes a long way in our book. Happy trick or treating, Dear Riders. Have a good holiday weekend.   What to Watch We just learned about Slow TV. Any guesses? An early example would be Warhol’s five-hour-twenty-minute film called Sleep. Which starred famous poet John Giorno in the breakout role of Sleeper. Today, it’s less artsy. Think cross-country train trip or person knitting on the couch. You know, Slow TV. A Complete Unknown. You already know. (Theaters) Nosferatu. Not to be confused with Dracula. (Theaters) The Fire Inside. Based on the true story of Claressa Shields. (Theaters) Babygirl. Classic family holiday movie. (Theaters) Squid Game, season two. Brace yourselves. (Netflix) Your Friend, Nate Bargatze. (Netflix) Or check out one of these under the radar Christmas films.   Tame the Untamed: Every Beard Needs This Tool [Partner]  Step into the spotlight with the Beard Forger by Odenson.

With FaceSafe tech and a battery that powers more than 10 styling sessions, it’s the simplest way to keep your beard clean and confident.  Hint, Hint: Makes for an epic gift, too.   SHOP NOW   What to Eat & Drink We did pasta two nights ago. Frozen garlic bread to sop up the canned vodka sauce? Sure. Yesterday, we let a bacon potato soup do its thing in the dutch oven all day. Today, it’s leftovers. Our ambitions of roasting a whole duck with a red wine reduction will have to wait until next year. Sometimes, the easier the better on quiet holidays at home with your wife. Beef Wellington. Because holiday. Pork rib stew would work, too. Please a crowd with these tortilla chip fried mac n cheese things. Whip up the ultimate breakfast sandwich with a simple bread swap. Sip on one of these vintage cocktails. Or opt for a Paper Plane. No matter what your mood’s like. Finish up those Christmas beers.   What to Do Tempted to leave this blurb blank. To really prove a point about doing nothing over the holidays. Also, and more honestly, because it’s time for us to log off, too. So instead of us doing the blurb, we’re just going to transcribe the lyrics of a Leif Vollebekk song we happen to be listening to right now: “Afternoons were losing light / December’s moon was shining bright / That’s when that you thought you just might / Settle for the best.” Winterize your outdoor gear. Just do it. Got some extra free time? Build some DIY cabinets. Or just read a book. Take care of that winter beard.* Where are you going to watch NYE fireworks?   The Ultimate Beard Tool is Here [Partner]  Your beard deserves more than a rough-around-the-edges look.
