David, hold on for one second.

When you say have to, what do you mean by that?

I mean the world will spin off of its axis, and everybody will die if I don't do this, right?

I can tell myself that's it.

I'm not doing this anymore.

But I can't stop.

So it's a lot.

So I have to write and I have to do those things.

So when I'm on tour...

Let's say I get back to the room.

I've signed books.

I get back to the room at one o'clock in the morning.

And then someone's taking me to the airport at seven o'clock in the morning.

Well, then maybe I have to get up at five o'clock in the morning.

And then I can usually walk like, I don't know, three, four miles in the airport.

And sometimes I can walk in the

Uh, but I still need to get a bunch of steps in before we leave for the airport.

So, you know, and then sometimes you're in a city and you don't really know the city very well and it's dark, you know, so you're walking around the hotel around and around, you know, just that block.

Or sometimes you see that you're going to have time later in the afternoon, so you can kind of parse it out.

But I have writing to do, and I have Duolingo, and I have the walking to do.
