right hello everyone i have really missed you this summer and i hope you enjoyed some of the

greatest hits replays and at the same time i am sorry that it's been weeks since we've been together. It was just a crazy July with,

if you follow my Mint Arrow stuff, you know that July is one of our very busiest times of the

year for work. And so it just made sense to do some of those replays of our greatest hits episodes that I feel like some of our

loyal listeners may be missed in the early early, you know, season one or two years of this podcast

that's been going for six plus years. But you'll also have to excuse my less than perfect voice.

Today I know I sound a little under the

weather. That's because I am apparently recovering from COVID, which I didn't know that I had all

week until I finally went to the doctor because I had been sick for so many days and was concerned

it might have been pneumonia

and then found out I was COVID positive instead.

So we're just kind of hanging out, laying low.

And I'm technically out of the quarantine period, but still just trying to get better.

So anyway, how's your summer bet, Neil?

Marvelous on that note. I, I too. I'm getting over the sickness. I don't know. Maybe you should

get tested. See, I'm just treating myself as though I have COVID or had it. Well, I think our whole

household had the same thing last week. Yeah, we're kind of, so we're

doing the waiting period game. But, um, but no, it's been good. It's been fun to do things locally,

uh, with the kids. We haven't traveled very much, really. Um, but now we are in the last week

before we go back to school, which I feel a little bit of the Christmas time.

You know, mom and dad can hardly wait for kids for school to start again, you know, phraseology from that Christmas song.

I think our kids are kind of crawling out of their skin.
