That's why I'm standing up.

Well, you know, I think it was my parents were this kind of, you know, push and pull with Reagan.

I mean, to your credit, you guys saw Reagan early on and my grandparents saw Reagan early on.

I was John Anderson, if you will, if you want to really go back.

In fourth grade, we had the, you know, we did our mock debates and I was, there was Reagan and there was Carter and I was John Anderson in that.

Lived in my neighborhood.

No kidding.

So I guess it was the independent streak was early on in me.

And, you know, it was really searching for the values that I was never part of anyone's club.

Okay.

So, you know, we had, my dad was in academic medicine.

We weren't wealthy, but we did well enough.

But we were public schools and I was a nerd, basically.

I had glasses, I had headgear, if anybody remembers that.

I had a tough time, I had dyslexia.

Headgear and dyslexia?

Oh yeah, I had it all.

Can you explain what, for those who are not 56, what headgear is?
