And that's just, you know, at the time it was just another day in Yale Springs.

But now, you know, I've never met any of these people.

But I know Antioch and it's our history.

So

I think the buildings encapsulate the message of what our lives have been.

I've got to spend all day with Mr. Robinson and Ms.

Obama, and I feel like I've known you for years.

I feel like when you speak to your mother, I can just see her vividly, and it makes me want to smoke.

But...

But as simple as it all is, what you've accomplished with your life and how you've gone about it is very well will live far beyond our bodies.

And so for me, more than money or anything, I hoard memories.

Today is like a memory like I'll close my eyes and I'll treasure the day for the rest of my life.

Even if we became the best of friends, this time was such a special time to be together.

So, you know, I also look at it.

Like, when I meet people, I try now, and I used to not be like this, but I try to remember it by myself, because I had made fun of a comedian once who was younger than me, just busting his balls, but he got really hurt, and he did all this press about how bad I was, and I was mad at first, and then I called him up, like, why do you say all those things about me?

He said, well, you forgot that you said this and the other, and then dawned on me, like, oh, it never occurred to me that this person might look up to me.

That's just another person I'd see at the comedy club.

So now I'm more mindful in that regard.

So, I mean, you know, one day at a time, one foot in front of the other, I look back only at the places where the treasure's buried, but I don't look back at all the shadows and the scary faces.

And I just try to just, you know, I'm just hoping that my legacy is something like that applause break Richard Pryor got in Newark.
