Hello everyone and welcome to classical stuff you should know. This week, it's just me,

just your friendly old AJ by himself. And there's a reason for that. And the reason for that

is mostly because Thomas had a kid.

That's right. The Meg baby is here. I don't know if we, I don't think we talked about that last podcast, but it means that we have a little less time between the three of us and it's a little

harder for all of us to get together. And we just weren't able to do it this week. So unfortunately,

I don't have a full episode for you. We will

have a full episode for you next week when we can finally get together. So please have a little

bit of mercy on us and for a new father. And I think the biggest news out of all of this is that

Thomas named the baby Arthur Graham Donaldson, Hannenberg, Magby, the third. And that's, it's so flattering to have

my name passed down in a family that is not my own. And I think, I think the same feeling is, is,

is what Graham is having right now. And, and we're just so thankful that, that Thomas would

think of us at such an important moment.

And just, you know, it knits us all together in a really special way.

And it really knits us all together in one single child.

And I just, I feel like now we're all the same person a little more than we used to be,

which is heartening.

It's a nice feeling. And I wish this was

the Christmas season, because I would say that's a nice feeling around Christmas, but it's not

Christmas. It's the end of June. I guess it's close to the Fourth of July. So it's a nice

American feeling when all of these things come together. Anyway, thanks for listening to this short

update. We'll see you next week. We'll be back, I promise,

and we'll have awesome content for you. If you're brand new to this podcast, I'm sorry that
