0:00.0	from the wilds of Connecticut. This is obscure season two. Frankenstein, I am your host, your friend, your
0:11.7	your lover, your literary mansplainer in chief and literal geogenologist. Michael E. and Black,
0:19.0	you'll notice I did not say I am in the Jill Schwartz Memorial Library because I am not. I am
0:25.6	instead, I have decamped to another location within the short-lived Black estate. I have decamped
0:35.2	to my front steps because it is a gorgeous day. Here in the wilds of Connecticut, mid-70s mild,
0:42.1	the weather is calm. The breeze is light. My dogs have accompanied me out here. They are both
0:49.2	sunning themselves, only the big lab, squash. I don't even know what he is. They're sitting in the
0:56.9	mulch sunning themselves. It was quite a process to move all of my gear from the Jill Schwartz Memorial
1:04.8	Library out to the front steps. It took my team several hours to get everything loaded up on
1:11.5	hand dollies and moved piece by piece from one wing of the mance to the next. I mean, you know,

1:42.8	grow. It's lovely. It's blooming. And of course, my thoughts now turn to, you know, the next process
1:49.2	in my leaving of the state of Connecticut thoughts are with moving companies. And what's
1:57.2	Chachkis? I am bringing in Chachkis. As you know, it's different than Chachy. Chachy was on happy days.
2:05.3	Chachkis are memorabilia and such that you collect along the way. So I'm, you know, thinking about
2:12.2	Chachkis and which books I'm bringing in which I am not and whether the ping pong table will come
2:17.6	with me or whether it will not. I'm going to let you know right now. It's not coming with me.
2:24.1	I was going to say it for the end of the episode, but fuck it. I decided to just let you know now.
2:28.0	I mean, why keep you in suspense? You know, there's already so much suspense going on right now
