And so I've always wanted to do that.

And so, yes, to me,

summers at the lake is time freedom for other people.

It's, you know, bumming around Europe for three months or, you know, it could look different to different people.

I'm continually expanding what it means to me.

And I think it ebbs and flows and, you know, changes over time as well.

Yeah.

I certainly have.
