Good morning.
Uh, not much over here. How about you? What happened to your hair?
Uh, my hair. Nothing.
Yeah,
I guess I I should have combed it before the meeting, eh? Uh,
you should have got it cut.
I should have woken up. earlier.
Yes, I would have woken up earlier, but I was too tired.
You could have scheduled the meeting earlier. Uh, well, earlier. You could have scheduled the meeting later, and that would have given me more time.
That would have given you more time, but I think you should have got up earlier.
Hold on. Let me see what I can do.
Yeah.
How's that?
Okay. Well, actually um it looks very interesting.
Thank you.
Much better. Much better.
Yes.
Yeah. It's uh
you should
what?
My my hair type is such that it's both wonderful and terrible. Wonderful and that it has a lot of options. Terrible and that it's uh troublesome to deal with.
Okay. Okay. One day I want to go bald. Uh,
I'm serious.
We all will eventually. So, um,
Yep.
Nothing. Nothing. I wasn't going to say anything.
I I guess.
Okay. I would have gone years ago,
but my wife was against it.
You mean You mean shaving? Like completely shaving?
Shaving my head bald.
Yeah.
Yep.
Your wife's against it.
You see Yeah.
All right, that's fine. That's
Hey, she's cool. I obey her.
She's cool. You like her? That's all that matters.
That's all that matters. She's the pillar of my life.
The pillar of life. Lovely. Lovely.
The Yes. Yes.
I always like the expression the apple of my eye. Although I never understood it. I always like I can't imagine what it means. The apple of my eye, but it sounds um poetic in some some sense. Um
yes. Yes, it's po.
Oh man, I'm dry today and I don't have a drink. I'm disappointed in myself. I should have prepared a drink before this.
You should have made yourself a coffee.
I again, if I'd woken up earlier, I could have made myself a drink. Not coffee. Thank you. I'm not a coffee drinker. You know that. I'm a tea guy. Yeah.
Well, where did you learn to drink tea?
I'm sorry. Did you say when or where?
Where?
Where? Um, I suppose at home when I was young, my mother drinks coffee, but she only drinks one cup a day. She only drinks it in the morning, and she only drinks a really small cup. Um, so she doesn't she doesn't drink coffee. that much really. And I never drank coffee. And then my mother didn't want to buy us juice because there was too much sugar in it.
Okay, I understand.
So then you're kind of left with milk and water as the options. Um, and I grew up in a place where we couldn't there were no drink machines. There's no convenience stores, nothing like that. So you just have what's available. And uh, there was always tea, which is funny because my mom doesn't like tea, but she always kept it for when she was sick. to to soothe
okay
soothe her throat. So,
okay,
especially in winter in Canada when it's cold, you want a hot drink and everyone else around you is having coffee because that's the thing. Everyone has coffee, hot coffee. So, I think I started drinking tea at that point uh as a hot winter drink to to warm up. And at first,
yeah,
at first I was drinking basic herbal teas like chamomile or or uh rose hip or something like that and then some fruity tea. And then eventually um I don't know what to call it. What do you call it? Black tea or British tea or English tea or Indian tea? I I never know what people like to call it. But um
I know I know
in Japanese cold.
If you'd hung out with me, if you'd have hung out with me, you would have drunk coffee.
I drank out with a lot. I drank out I hung out with a lot of coffee drinkers and No, never. No, thank you.
Okay. Okay. Maybe I should have lived on the island.
Yeah, you should have lived on the west coast of Canada. Then you would Well, you'd still be a coffee drinker probably, but you would have been more into tea, maybe. Maybe.
I don't know. Who knows?
Well, there's a lot of there.
Well, sorry.
Come again.
I think we both missed what we said. Um, I should have grabbed a cup of tea and I'm regretting now. I'm going to go grab a cup of tea now. I'll see you later. Okay, take care there. Thanks a lot.
