Then, Stacy and Daniel talk about their color choices as children, and they agree that one of the perks of becoming an adult is not having to live with painting mistakes. 

They also touch on Daniel's upcoming vacation plans, why New York State has two school breaks during winter, the Buffalo Bills, and the next season of True Tales From Old Houses.

This week, Stacy is waylaid in Salt Lake City as back-to-back storms turned a long weekend into an 8-day trip. 

Soon after Stacy's travel update, Daniel apologizes for not correctly crediting architect Christopher Brandt for the information on Rochester Carpet we discussed during episode #108. 

Then, tangents abound during a conversation about enjoying Christmas decor well into January and bread baking.  

Finally, Daniel explains how his trip to a saltwater deprivation chamber went and whether or not it helped him "get back in his body."  

Old house chat is sprinkled in there, too, we promise!
