0:05.3	on this mid-May day. It is, I don't know about you, but like I said this last week and I did
0:13.3	the episode the week before on this whole concept of May summer and I'm like, I'm in it with you,

1:45.7	especially in May where your routine is different.
1:49.1	The kids are wrapping up school for the year.
1:51.6	There's end of the year field days and picnics and graduations.
1:55.9	And it's just like your routine just sort of is blown up.
1:59.5	And I know for somebody like me who thrives on routine,
