I really enjoyed listening to some of your podcast. And it was wonderful running into you at Ace Hardware. I have a lot of mixed feelings about my youth and growing up in the punk scene in Berkeley and I’m sure that my perspective of myself is really different than the way people saw me. That’s what I was thinking about a lot when listening to your podcast I hope you’re doing well. Take care. Amerin
