Claire: And this is Claire. Good morning. Joy: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are in the world. I wonder what time people listen to us the most. Is it a morning walk?

When I say ginormous, I mean warehouse sized. Joy: Yeah. Claire: But we haven’t gone this year. We didn’t go this year, but we went last year. The problem is that last year, for the last five years, we have lived in a neighborhood where everyone is setting off so many fireworks. Starting in June. I know people are listening – there’s a lot of mixed feelings about fireworks. We are really lucky. Our dog does not care about fireworks. Our kids love them. We try to be really respectful.
