it's hard for me to lecture. It is just, it is so stunning. Also, you have to understand what an

appreciation I have of fall. I was just speaking to my four and a half year old son in Los Angeles.

And you don't know how hard it is to explain fall in Los Angeles.

He keeps asking me, why is this any different from summer, spring, or winter?

They're not different. They're like concepts. They're abstract concepts.

So I'm telling him the colors of the leaves that they're actually falling.

The bad news is that for me right now, it is not yet 8 o'clock.

The good news is I own no stocks.
