0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Close Reeds here on the Circe Institute Podcast Network.
0:08.8	I'm David Kern and I am sitting directly across from Angelina Stanford.
0:12.8	And Tim McIntosh is actually here.
0:15.8	Well, on the show, he's actually here.
0:17.8	Angelina is actually in the room, like two feet from me.
0:21.6	And Tim is in Aruba. I'll say hi to you first, Tim. Tim, how's it going?
