Alright, well, thanks Ben. Yeah, KK7, Fox, Kilo, Bravo are flying kites backwards, as they like to say. It's been an interesting week since last Friday. I hadn't heard from a friend for a long time, and long story short, I started calling up hospitals, and I found him. Apparently, he had been diagnosed with this non-curable, very rare disease that was slowly killing him. Since Friday, I've been spending a lot of time at the Providence Everett Hospital. I don't even know what ward it was. It was just the end of life ward. Everyone's kind of on their way out, I guess, floor. And I'm really glad that I had that opportunity to do that. He passed yesterday morning. And I'm really glad I did it when I did it, because Friday, when I saw him, I saw him and he saw me. We had kind of a rough conversation, but it was him. It was him. And then, by Sunday, it was just very simple, small one-word answers. And we listened to music, we listened to No FX, the punk rock band from Southern California, and we listened to the Toasters. I think the last thing that he said to me, I asked him, do you like the Toasters? I think you like the Toasters, right? And he's like, yeah. So we listened to the Toasters, and we listened to a song called Pirate Radio, which is about, I think it was a break for a second.
