I'm really excited. Yeah, you're pumped for themes?

Genuinely, yes. Why are you so pumped, Mike? I'm really excited about my theme.

You got a good one? I think I got a good one.

There's a big project included in my theme that I've not told you about that I'm excited to tell you about.

Okay. And I feel good about my theme from last year and I'm, you've been hinting at big things in your

discussion no no okay don't even dare set it up like that what I've actually

been trying to communicate is this is the year that I've by a huge margin taken the most

notes on my theme throughout the year and I have spent what has felt like the virtual

equivalent of the past three days shifting through hundreds

and hundreds of little index cards with random sentences for thoughts of like what was going

on.

See that's exciting to me.

I'm excited about this. I'm excited about this.

I'm excited about this.

Yeah, so I felt a little overwhelmed the past few days of like trying to condense down a bunch of things that

to me are sort of interrelated. So I feel like there's been like big

thoughts this year is for me what's been going on.

Gray, what is a yearly theme? That is a tricky question because a theme to me anyway. It's very fuzzy,

wuzzy, it's very hippy-dippy. It's a flexible thing that you can adapt for you. So I always feel like we talk about themes, but trying to nail

it down to an exact definition is always a little bit tricky. But I feel like what you can do is you could talk about some characteristics and the things to me that matter about a theme is first in opposition to something like a resolution.

Boo. Boo! Boo resolutions!

But like this is what started the whole thing years ago kind of thinking about it.
