Okay, on that note, our final question has been the same in every one of these, which is, what's been some source of joy that you've experienced?

E.J., we start with you.

My source of joy involved going to New York in part to celebrate our older daughter's 50th birthday.

I'm contacting the hospital asking for a recount.

I think there must be something wrong with that to be.

But we also saw our other daughter in something called Diaspora, an immersive dramatic experience of which she was a singer and the music director, Leah Siegel.

And it was just a wonderful evening about...

women's stories fleeing from their native lands.

David, you have the final word.

Well, congratulations on both your forehand and also whatever lies ahead instead of being a columnist.

David, EJ, thanks to both of you.

Thank you.
