Always good short visits, but this is one of those as well.

That's why it took so long to come here, by the way.

Is it?

There was a period, well, first of all, the book took me longer to write than I anticipated.

It's the first time I've written a book.

And second of all, during that period while I was writing, I just stopped doing any podcasts.

Because as you know, you give up a little bit of time, a little bit of time there.

And for me, it took time to be able to just hone in.

And I wasn't able to stop everything in my life.

But I put off doing podcasts for that whole period of time.

I don't blame you.

I appreciate your patience.

Let's see.

So I announced that I was leaving the Democratic Party in October of 2022.

And I got a call from a publisher who saw my announcement.

I made a little video announcing the main reasons why I was leaving the Democratic Party.

Publisher called and said, that announcement read like a book outline and we'd love for you to write a book if you're interested.

So fast forward to book release date was April 30th, 2024.

So, you know, I was originally supposed to push the book out.

I think the original published date was summer of 23.
