Well, it's what I love to do because my whole goal in life is to connect with people I love. And it doesn't happen easily. When you have that connection, you feel like you're taking care of people and they're taking care of you. And God knows we need that.

I mean, I kind of do, but I certainly didn't know how to make an omelet then. And what I know now is you have to make them one at a time. Yeah. So I spent the entire time in the kitchen making omelets.
