When anything starts with "In a world..." you know it's never serious business. Our friend Mike said he wanted to be part of the episode, we told him "only if you use the most EPIC voice possible" well... this is what happened 😆 we had too much fun with this one.

I love the story the two of you have make, but mike's narration was soooo epic that I just had to drop a note. Not sure you'll ever see this, but I lost my mom too so my heart really goes out to you. For me, it's easy to go on, but there's such an empty void when I stop and reminisce. Anyway, thanks for sharing your story.

Cheers and thanks for another wonderful episode. I am not a super religious person in that I don't attend a church per say but I studied the Bible for 23 years so I know a bit about what it teaches. Romans 12:15 says to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. In the honor of your Mom who passed a year ago while I was celebrating my 57th birthday I will join you in remembrance of your Mother by breaking a glass each year on my birthday. This I will do not as weeping for the days of mourning have passed. Now it will be only as a celebration of her life and the influence she had on you that makes your personality so enjoyable.

The guy leading that second cave dive hopefully knows those that follow him well. It could become hairy if a person was starting to need air and panicked. Maybe it wasn't as dangerous as it looked but not having been there before, scuba is the only safe way I'd be down there. I guess it's old age, but there were things I did when young that I'd never do now. Interesting episode that caused rather heavy breathing.....turkey's ;).
