0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM Triumph 111.
0:11.0	Alan, welcome to the program. Hi Dr Laura, thank you. How are you today?
0:15.8	Good, what can I help you with? My wife loves to surprise me with some things from time to time, like she books and trips,
