I've had plastic surgery, so I don't look as old as I am, but I'm 72 years old, and this— Bob,
But it— So at any rate, this conversation that we're having has been going on in my mind for probably 10 years.
So, you know, you're talking with, I've been a small business entrepreneur for my entire life.

And then when you basically sell that company or you transition out of it, you're no longer that center of decision-making.

And I'm currently in the restaurant hospitality business for specifically that human connection component, because I love being able to talk to people on a regular basis.
And at the end of the day, our experiences that we create are the only real thing we carry with us.
