And there's a power in the human voice that you grow attached to.

I'm 62.

Right.

So, you know, you've still got a couple of chapters left.

And my theory was somebody gave me advice right before I was leaving office.

And it was don't rush into what the next thing is.

Take a beat.

And take some satisfaction looking backwards and saying, oh, you know what?

Didn't get everything done that I wanted.

Wasn't always exactly how I planned it.

But there's a body of work there that I'm proud of.

You know, pat yourself on the back for a second.

Just be a little brain dead for a while.

You know, I've read a bunch of books that had been stacked up by – I had a big –

deficit with my wife and had to kind of work my way out of, right?

So we went on a lot of trips and hung out and, you know, just had nice dinners and slept in.

And then I think

What this is an opportunity for you, it was an opportunity for me, was figuring out, all right, what's my next highest and best use?

What's a new purpose that...

scratches that itch.
