So he thought that when I was giving people tours of the night sky that I was the one that turned the stars on at night, I guess.

And I looked at Jason and he was crying.

And you were like, Woody, look at the stars.

And you won.

No, I would say it was quite equal because Jason loved vegetable gardening.

And so Woody was often in the garden with Jason.

And they would come inside to eat lunch and then leave again back to go gardening.

And I knew where they sat because there would be four little piles of dirt from where they had sat down.

Yeah.

So that happened when I was in my second to third year of graduate school.

And can I just ask, like, for setting in time, is this before or after the worst day?

This is after the worst day.

So the worst day happened my junior year in the physics program.

Let me take a sip of water real quick and then I will.

Yeah.

So it was a long weekend, and me and my son and husband decided to take a mini vacation to the Oregon coast.

And it was especially sunny on the Oregon coast for it being wintertime.

And a lot of people that are not from the Pacific Northwest might not know about this, but there's these things called sneaker waves.

And we were walking along the beach and the water would come up to the same place every single time.

And I was walking a little bit ahead of them.
