This is our second taping session. We were both kind of tired, but, as I reminded Teddy, “Most of the work of the world is done by people who aren’t feeling their best.” So, we went ahead and taped anyway. You’ll notice that being tired makes Teddy’s ADHD worse. I don’t have ADHD and being tired ain’t that great for my speaking or thinking abilities, either. Remember, life is not a bowl of cherries for anybody. It’s cherries and lemons for all of us. Time for Cherry Lemonade! Yeah, baby!
Please enjoy the videos. I DO apologize for getting the first one out of sync, but this whole digital video thing is completely new to me. When I tried to fix it I only made it worse. But, at least I tried. Thank you.
