| 0:00.0 | Today's 10 minute walk is helping both of us remain fitness consistent. |
| 0:07.0 | Hi, I'm Dave. Let's go for a walk. |
| 0:11.0 | I need to, if you would allow me, I need to explain, describe the season of life that I'm in right now. I'm in a season of life where the calendar |
| 0:25.3 | is generally not overloaded. There are times when I've got a lot to do and the days are packed |

| 1:50.0 | I love it. But here's the thing. From time to time, because of that margin, I actually get bored. It's like, oh, okay, work is done. I don't have any |
| 2:07.9 | kids to deal with. What do I do? What do I do? Have you ever felt that? |
