Welcome to The Hen Report.

I'm Jasmine Singer.

I'm Marianne Sullivan.

We're so excited that you're here today.

You know what, Marianne, I feel like I have been having a good couple of days.

I feel like I'm jinxing myself.

No, not like politically or like universally.

No, we have to separate our lives from the life of the world.

They're both important, but you can't just all bundle them up together.

Yeah.

We had the AR gathering at your house the other day where we do like a professional

people who work in animal protection in the Rochester area.

And we had some new face.

Even though I had to clean the house first.

Well, no, the house is clean.

I was just, we had this little discussion about whether people are just sunnier than other people.

Like, is it just how you're born?

Because there were some folks there who just genuinely, like, have seen the worst of the

worst and are, you know, much like photographer and activist Joanne McArthur, they think

the world is like a beautiful place.

And I just, I'm not that way.

I think there is something, you know, personality.
