Hey what's up?

How are you?

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

If this is your first time listening, I am sending you all the love.

Thank you so much for joining me. Thank you for hanging out today.

If you are a long time listener, sending you love too man. Thanks so much for

tuning in over and over. I love the community that we are creating through this podcast it is so fun for me. I took my

kids roller skating yesterday two days ago when was it it was two days ago so it's January right now I'm

recording this in advance because I'm just that kind of person now. Apparently I've evolved into the kind of human that does

things in advance which is crazy so fun and so it was Martin Luther King Junior Day and my kids had off of school took

them to the roller rink and I will tell you it was a huge mistake. No one with ADHD should be going to a roller rink

with their children on a school holiday. It was crowded. It was loud. There were flashing lights. Lots of motion. I wanted to cry the whole time and of

course I have a five-year-old who doesn't know how to skate right so my big boys are like so into it so excited

And they just like took off and they had an amazing time they were know, they have roller blades and they just really enjoyed it.

But my five-year-old does not know how to skate. He also does not like to do things imperfectly. So we had one of those triangle like PVC pipe things that the little

kids use and went out with him onto the rank. Of course I'm in like old school roller skates because I never learned to rollerblade. So I'm in old school roller skates, which by the way, I'm so good at I am a boss at roller skating.

I can go backwards.
