| 0:00.0 | Hey, so it's December as we take stock of the year that just passed and think about our |
| 0:06.2 | goals, our dreams, our hopes for the year that lays ahead. Wait, is it lays ahead or lies |
| 0:10.3 | ahead? You know, I always mix that up like, yeah, always my weak spot in English class. |
| 0:15.3 | Anyway, as we think about what we want for the year that exists in the future for 20, |
| 0:23.2 | otherwise known as 2022, it occurs to me that we often talk about what? This is the |

| 1:59.5 | made a series of questionable decisions. You see, Captain Turner was the captain of the |
| 2:04.8 | Lucidania, a ship with 1,959 passengers, and it was sailing from Manhattan to London. |
