Hey, what's up, fellow Thomas, Matt Fraed here from Pines with Aquinas.

Thank you very much for downloading this podcast.

This isn't a typical podcast.

We're not going to be discussing Aquinas.

Instead, we're going to be discussing Pines with Aquinas and some big news,

some big decisions that both of my wife and I have made.

This is kind of weird, right?

Because I'm speaking into a microphone and I know that there's literally tens of

thousands of people listening to this.

So I'm just going to imagine someone in front of me who is super friendly.

That's all it's helps.

And he's a fan, you know, because I got to say some stuff.

It's kind of, you know, kind of personal and gosh, we live in a weird day and age,

don't we?

I think I've said this before, my mom and dad, when I was a kid, they had a phone

connected to the wall.

They didn't even have an answer machine.

That was literally the only way you could get a hold of them.

Actually, that's not true.

You could write them a letter and send it by post.

That was it.

But if you wanted to get in touch with my mom or dad, you called them.
