I had a great time with you at Thanksgiving. It was good to see everyone. I especially enjoyed the new family drink created by Jessica, lovingly named "The Stinky Ghost". The recipe (as I remember it) was the following:
- 3 parts Southern Comfort
- 1 part Peach Schnapps
- fill the rest of the shaker with ice & cranberry juice
- shake & serve
So yummy. If any of you were with me right now, I would make us one.
Here is what is going on in my life. Callidus (my company) announced a 10% reduction in work-force. I was not let go. That is good news. Ah, the joys of corporate life.
I am filming a short film with my friend, Owen. You may remember him as the guy who sang my first-dance song, along with his wife, Jodi. This is a short film for a website called Dad Labs. The short film is about a Christmas gone horribly wrong. Dad Labs is an "edgy, fun and informative show dedicated to dads and the women who tolerate/love them". You can see some of Owen's other things like "Conversations with Arden" at this web site:

It is basically Owen interviewing Arden on a tiny couch about music. Jodi Egerton was pregnant with Arden when she & Owen sang my first dance song.
In other Ben-news, I am performing Home Alone at the Alamo Drafthouse at the Ritz on 6th Street for the entire month of December. Here is a link to the description of the show & showtimes:

Here is a picture of me, Joe Pesci & Macauley Culkin.
I love you very much. Have a safe & happy Christmas.
Post some pictures from your Christmas break! I would love to see some snow!
