Hello, it's Ben Greenfield. Sometimes I feel like Elmer Fud when I say that.

Hello, hello, hello!

No, seriously, hello. I hope your day is going well. I just got off a plane.

I've been sitting on a plane for the past five hours. I hopped on a plane to fly down to Kauai.

Hawaii. And I'm here for the week attending a friend's wedding celebration.
