Glad to have you back on episode 97. Some of us like collecting things, and I recently collected a bunch of rocks when at Malibu Beach, and many of them are nice. In this episode, I discuss:

• the colors and shapes of the rocks I collected
• people around the beach who saw the collecting and noticed
• what I might do with the rocks, and how they look
• the super bowl party that we had, and how it was inclusive

These rocks were publicly available, and I went and searched them out. This is a nice message about life, in that some things you like are already out there waiting for you. I might find more later. Glad for your listening~
