Yeah.

Later that day.

Yeah.

It's, um, it, you know, I, I think I've been thinking about it a little bit more now because I'm, I'm now exactly five years older than my father ever was.

And it is a strange thing.

I'm sure for anybody out there that's had that happen, um,

when you kind of lap your parent uh especially when they died unexpectedly early because you you've looked at all these pictures and everything and you think oh yeah he's just so much older than i was so much more of a grown-up but now i'm looking at pictures and i'm doing the math and i'm like wait a minute i think he was 43 in this picture you know and then i think back on my own 43 year old like oh wow was he kind of dealing with that and so i think what i think of it more is just as um

And I think that's ultimately what helped me find perhaps my voice a little bit more was to think about like, well, what are the real –

basic rudiments of this story?

And am I maybe – do I have the danger of getting in the way of it by just trying to make it larger than it should be when it should probably be simple or even more effective that way?
