Dave and I went for a walk yesterday afternoon. It was one of these beautiful summer days in Myrtle Beach.

The skies were blue. There were a few clouds hanging low. The temperature was up. The humidity was up.

There weren't a whole lot of other people out walking at the same time.

We're in that season here in the southeast of the United States where it's just hot and sticky

and it has been for a while.

And even though people move south for the weather, a big part of the reason why, particularly the

warmer climates, this is the time of year when it's like, okay, I'll tell you what, we're just

going to hang inside for a while and wait for the, wait for the heat and humidity to break and then

we'll reemerge.

Ava and I really don't want to do that, so we've still been taking daily walks, even though

it gets a little uncomfortable. I think yesterday's heat index while we were out was, I checked

when I got home. I didn't want to check before we left. It was the heat index while we were out was, I checked when I got home. I didn't want to check before we left.

It was the heat index was 111. It was kind of sticky. We did three miles. We did three miles.

And I had my water bottle with me and it all was always, always well. The conversation was a little tense at points there's

something that as we're thinking towards the future planning for the future

there's an issue where we're not on the same page and And so I intentionally, intentionally waited until we were on a walk to talk about that.

And there are a couple of very specific reasons why I did that.

Hi, I'm Dave.

Today's 10-minute walk is powered by my Shox headphones.

I had been using the corded earbuds, which came with my iPhones. It sounded great, but the frustration level with those was increasing.

And Ava had been using the Shocks headphones.
