I thought you were dead.

Hey, we're recording the podcast.

Greatly exaggerated.

Good morning to you, wherever you are, because it is...

Morning, Southwest!

For April 29th, 2006.

Still got it.

My name is Bernie Burns sitting right over there.

She's worried about splitting her jeans.

It's Ashley Burns.

Say how to ask everybody.

Gonna get back in the swing of things.

Well, first of all, I want to say thank you to everybody for the day off yesterday.

If you tuned in yesterday and there was no episode, which I didn't see too many comments about it, which is good. I guess people could always go listen to the

previous episode if they had not. And if they had, they would know. But thank you for the day off.

That was fantastic. That was a trip many years in the making. And it was a great way to celebrate

700 episodes of Morning Somewhere.

Ashley and I did not spend the morning together.

That was a lot of fun.

I'll talk a little bit more about the trip that J.D. and I took to Dublin and all the plans that went into it.

If you've listened to this podcast on a regular basis, you've probably heard us mention it at least one time before.

Yeah, it was, it was lovely to have a day off, although I will admit that, because, so you and J.D. were off doing your thing. I got the kids to school and I got home and went, well, what now? I had too much day. Yeah. Is that sound weird to say? Like, I didn't know what to do with all my day. Like almost like the what do I do with my hands moment kind of thing?
