Uh, goodness. Uh, John, how is your trip to Long Island?

Just lovely.

Do you like the beach? I hear you're plugging your phone in.

I am. I'm really muted when I do that,

and you ask me a question, so now you get to hear.

Behind the scenes, I plug in my phone,

so I charge it as well I record. It's exciting.

Why? Why not just do that when you go to bed?

I do.

How long of a time span is it between when the podcast ends

and when you go to bed usually?

You never know.

Vacation was good. Anything interesting to report?

You rented a camera. Would you like to, or yeah, a whole camera, right?

Would you like to talk about that at all?

Yeah, a camera and a bunch of lenses.

This was Marco's recommendation of what camera I should rent.

And the only reason I was doing it at all is because my wife is going off on a cruise

with her mother, which is a thing to do. Maybe we'll talk about later.

Um, and she decided that our camera is not good enough.

Because she's had too much proximity exposure to Marco's fancy cameras

and other people's fancy cameras and it's like rubbing off on her.
