But now that the Ph.D.

So as a unit, my brother, my mother, my father and I became very, very close. And, um, That is such a blessing. That was something I didn't really recognize at the time when you're growing up.

I still make sure at least twice a week to see them, whether I'm driving down and working from home by them because I work remotely or just seeing them for like a Sunday brunch.

Oh, that's a good question. I would say we went to a boat party for Carabana last year. And My family, they're very true to the bone, I would say. They know how to party. They know how to move. They can drink. They were outdoing me. And I was trying to keep up with my parents. And that was a very harsh reality to see. Wow, my parents can party better than I can. It was lovely.
