Yeah. Oh. And I was touched by her emotion and her relationship to her sister, so I said yes. So that meant I was afloat and have to think about what I'm going to do. And I made a trip to the first natural burying ground in America. in the west side of South Carolina. Beautiful place, and they run it gorgeously. They do a great job. And I was like, huh, how about that as an option?

Now, natural burial grounds are slowly growing all over the country, and maybe I could do that. And then there's the part of me that says, David, just get cremated. Let your wife figure it out.

It's really what it is. I'll tell you one really quick story. Please, yeah. I moved to California and I was going to Santa Barbara to see somebody. And I get talking to my father. He said, well, you can go visit your grandmother. Both of my grandmothers died before I was born, so I never knew a grandmother. And it turned out that she was buried in the Santa Barbara Cemetery.

So on the way up, my wife and I took a detour, and I found the grave, and I just burst into tears. Because I never got to go to grandmother's house because I never had a grandmother. And so it was a very emotionally effective moment for me. And my wife has now drifted away. She comforted me at the beginning and said, okay, I'm going to go walk around. And she comes back and she's smiling.

I'm like, hey, I'm having a moment here. Should you be serious? If you walk to the edge of the cliff, below it is a nude beach. Now, your grandmother wanted to be buried there because she wanted to look at the ocean, which you can do. She wanted to look at the mountains, which you can do. But, you know, maybe she wanted to look at the nude beach, too.
