John, I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving this year with my family.

Florida is the

perfect outdoor location for Thanksgiving. So we very often hold it outside. And I'm not kidding

you. Last year, we had like an alligator watching party or walk after we had dinner out of the

bench at the park. and it was just fantastic.

I don't know if you were about to go into some joke about the number of governors that have mandated that Thanksgiving either be done outside or not at all.

Governor Newsom in California, for example, that was very interesting.

It has given very clear instructions about how Thanksgiving is to be done. It can be done outside,

no more than two family members. And it is okay, according to his instructions, if somebody needs

to use the restroom, they can in fact go inside as long as the bathrooms are clean frequently.

Was this an intro into conversations about the role of government as opposed to the family and what a nanny state is like?

You know, John, you need to take a break, man.

You've got to take a break from work.

I was actually just going to ask you what your Thanksgiving plans were.
