Well, Wesley, I hope you're not too cold in the harbor. I'm from the Upper Peninsula, and so I like a cozy wood stove or a heater as much as anyone. But in this weather, this is the transitional weather, or sometimes I don't bother turning on a heater, but I love to dress warmly. It just makes me feel cozy. I'm wearing 100% cotton flannel pajama bottoms, and I've got two cotton shirts on. One's a long sleeve. Actually, I'm dressed for bed. I have in my hidey hole bed in the back room, I have a double army blanket, a 50% wool blanket that's just double layers. I always feel very cozy. I get up in the middle of the night, use the bathroom, and my apartment's down in the 50s. I'm doing it any time, folks. I can turn on a heater and bring it up, but I'm just kind of like, oh, it's chilly. Then I go back and I get under my double army blanket. In my cocoon bed, it's in a navy blue bed tent that I described. Both of them have thick, you know, deadening charcoal-colored foam in them, which makes both of them very quiet. But in that one, I have a Sherpa blanket, so-called Sherpa blanket. It's synthetic materials, but it's another one of those super cuddly warm blankets. I just cuddle up and grab one of the pillows and fall asleep. I don't know. I don't mind it. It's cool in my apartment. Although, if I get sick of it, I can always turn on the heater. It's not that big a deal. But then let's see. Would I write, oh, yes. Wouldn't it be something if we have your mom to thank for the name of Wesley Crusher? That would be wonderful. That would be very cool. I know the person whose mom probably says, Wesley, what a great name. That's what they want. They're hoping for people to send in names and all the regular names. Then there's occasionally a name like Sigourney or Wesley or something different to go, oh, hey, look at that name. Let's try that one. You know, I just never understand that. I don't think they are a majority of fans who quote, hate Wesley Crusher, unquote, or hate the character. It's almost like a social media trend thing. Like, hen pecking. Which is a real problem, folks. I grew up on a farm. We didn't have hens. We had a chicken house. Farmers had hens. Sometimes they get in a hen pecking frenzy and the other hens will peck one of the hens to death. I wonder what the evolutionary basis is for that behavior. I just thought, what's wrong with Wesley Crusher's character? It's just television. I think it's just like the mean kids in school ganging up on somebody. It never made sense. I thought, I don't see anything that's wrong with this character to warrant this vitriol and seeming hate. I don't get why people hate. I just don't get it. My life is too short for me to waste any of my emotional energy on gratuitous hatred. It just doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, Wesley, you realize, of course, I'm going to be able to tell my friends tomorrow.
