Dear Nick, thank you for this wonderful video and for sharing your thoughts through this platform, it's been making my commute to work much more pleasant. My question results from a major life event that occurred to me last month - I got married. Both of us are in our 30s and this is the first marriage for both of us, so we took some time to find one another. I am a big fan* of you and your marvelous wife, Megan Mullally, and you two became somewhat of a symbol of a happy, mature union of two individuals to me throughout the years (although it is quite sassy of me to assume I know anything about people I do not personally know). I know you revealed a lot about your bliss together in your joint book (which I loved), but is there any advice you'd have for a newlywed couple that is only having dogs and not babies? Thank you very much!

It looks absolutely sublime there. I’d like to thank you for introducing me to the Redbanks. I have thoroughly enjoyed James’ books and really love their social media posts. Their content really strikes a chord deep within me. Enjoy the visit!

Hello Nick,
Have you ever been tempted to build your own house? perhaps you have already done so? I have built many homes, for others, usually in the heavy timber/ green oak vernacular and would dearly love to do the same for my family. Is this an aspiration of yours and how do you find the time eh?
Hello Nick! Thank you for another insightful series. I am curious, given your love of nature and pastoral settings in general, where you might consider living if you were to leave the big city? Not so much a specific location (though I am sure having a 'Nick Offerman seal of approval' would be met with glee from any department of tourism!), but rather the general feel of the place. Mountains, old–growth woodland, active volcano, etc. Cheers!
Always enjoy your perspective. It’s good to remember what’s going on in the background that makes what s happening in front of the camera so impressive.
Soooooooooooooooooooo this choreographer/dance teacher (now retired) loved to make shows... but sometimes I preferred to be the dancer/student visiting new cities to learn 'stuff'. I was not fond of... okay... disliked... choreographers/dance teachers/studio heads who thought they were the King/Queen of the art and refused to watch/learn from others. Sigh. I could not have been more happy than when I was at the back of the convention center classroom and saw joy on a teacher's face working on the stage when a youngster absorbed what that person was trying to show them. Yes- I happily took my new knowledge back to the studio and used it 'to make shows'... but honestly, seeing the joy on the faces of that teacher (Anthony Morigerato) and that unnamed student was satisfying.... until my own student (Riley StJ) burst into smiles when I showed her what I wanted to share from the convention to 'make another show.' 5 6 7 8 done
I forgot to ask my question. Who are, or is, your favorite author?
I’m partial to Philip K. Dick, Erik Larson, Jo Nesbo, Whitman, Ludlum, Baldwin, and Robert Burns just to name a few. I’ll be totally honest that I have not ready any of your books yet. However, after listening to you on Conan’s podcast, I bought Where The Deer And Antelope Play. Cheers
Fantastic, working on a farm can be quite relaxing. Sometimes not, if your livelihood depends on it. Growing up, we grew our own produce, raised a few cattle, and had horses. It was hard work. Now, I have rose-colored glasses about the whole affair, but I know that I still would not appreciate mucking stalls and turning over manure pile to make compost. Now, living in a ski town near Yellowstone (or, Jellystone ;), I long for the rolling pastoral landscape that is no more in that lost part of Ohio. At least in my neighborhood, I’m the guy with the jumper cables and tools that people seek out during a MT cold morning before work. Lovely video, keep up the posts and cheeky laugh.

Hello Nick. I was wondering if you have a favorite tool? And do you ever name them??

Thanks for the breaths of fresh air with your thoughts and the Pips!
It's a small world, I'm just up the road and over the border in Dumfries.
Do you have any favourite places to visit in the British Isles? Any places you haven't had the chance to yet but want to?

Hello from Malvern, Pennsylvania. As a fellow scotch collector I ask: Do you have any favorite foods that pair well with the Lagavulin 11?
