Intermittent Fasting for Life podcast. How are you doing today, Sherry?

1:03.1

I'm doing great. The sun is shining. So, you know, that always makes for a better day.

1:09.7

It does. It's nice and sunny here, too. I can tell. Yeah. I can tell. The whole country, I think,

1:27.8

is in this weird early cold spell right now. Well, it is. November 11th today. And, yeah. Cal sent me a photo of something. Like, we just left San Francisco. So if my voice is hoarse, it's because I've been talking and laughing for five days straight with the boys. We had a great trip to San Francisco.

2:19.1

And when we left San Francisco, it had been like 77 the day before. And then we get home and
