Life is hard enough. We need to laugh a lot. We're helping each other right now. We're doing this because we want to do it, but other people are going to get something out of it because there are two people who like to go do hard things physically and whatever are also willing to be vulnerable enough to say here are all the things that I'm still working on. I mean at 31 years and in two years we are still basically working on the same things every day.
