We're running on XM radio where you can.

That's right.

I ended up doing that commencement talk.

And then within that year, we had nowhere to go, as I mentioned.

And the folks that owned the motel that we stayed in when I gave the talk, Native American folks, just salt of the earth, great people.

They said, why don't you come live here in Upper Michigan? And I thought, why would I go live there? I got nothing going on.

The guy's like, we got nothing going on there.

He was the, uh, pharmacist.

He had been a medic in Vietnam.
