Well, uh, for quite a while it seemed like I would do the, the singing myself, unfortunately.
But fortunately, [laughs] I found, I found a, a, an actual singer to do it for me- [laughs] ... uh, to my delight.
[laughs] Well, that's good.
Mm.
So why don't you talk a little bit about the other, uh, project you have, the Food for Thought.
