Hello and welcome dr. Edie witter hi Mike. It's good to be here

Thank you so much for for joining me when I saw that your book was scheduled to come out

I I bookmarked the date and I wanted to make sure that I that I talked to you about it when it came out first of all

Congratulations, I've co-authored a couple of books. I know how much work goes into I mean

I can only imagine how much work went into living the life that you recount in in writing a memoir

But just the mundane stuff of putting a book out boy

It must be a nice feeling that it's actually a tangible thing that people can get their hands on nowadays

So congratulations first of all it exists. It's here. You did it. It feels great to know it really exists in the world now
