Felicitations, this is Mefully Shadeh and this is my podcast. Welcome to everyone who is listening.

Your ears are very welcome here. I am really, really, really happy to be home. I have in the last two weeks traveled, I think I've flown,

hmm, eight times.

Whoa, guys, it's not good for the skin.

It's not, it's the reverse of going to a spa.

I'm like a desiccated corpse.

It's like somebody put a blow dryer on my face and just kind of just dried it out for

a week or so. It is bad. I used one of those magnifying

mirrors in the hotel room, which you should never do when you've had two hours sleep. You don't

want to see that. I looked like a drowel or something. You know in

in Skyroom you go into the thing and suddenly something would pop up out of a gray

that's exactly what my skin looks like so thank you to anybody who I met at a convention

and who didn't comment on my haggard visage it was a fun two weeks though can I just say that

so two weeks though. Can I just say that? So two weeks ago I, what did I do? I got in a plane to go to Birmingham, England, which was, uh, it was quite the jaunt, y'all. It was definitely, I left on Thursday and I came back very early on Monday, and I didn't really know where Birmingham, England was, except I knew it was in England.

So I left on like a 4 p.m. which is a little early, but actually it's okay because you land and

then it's, you have the whole next day.

So I landed at like 8.30 a.m. and I had the whole day before I had to be in Birmingham, England

at that night.

So what I did, I went crazy, crazy. So I went into downtown London and I saw

as much as possible between the hours of 10 and 5 as I could possibly see.

All the while I'm dragging a suitcase across cobblestones often and I'm wondering why I'm getting

like carpal tunnel and like problems with my shoulder.
