In 2010, you were 54 or the A-Diamne now. And you just completed your second year as the Dean of the College of Education, Leadership and Counseling. Your kids were grown and settled. You wrote, we had two cats. I was a bite-communer. Evan, I spent a month in Indonesia. We drank a lot of wine. We ate a lot of fish. 2010 was a great year. And then you got this diagnosis, essentially, as you described it, which helped me understand this. You know, your motor neurons were dying.
