Berlin Wall Speech given by Ronald Reagan in 1989 with accompanying background music. This is a complete audio speech with music of the Berlin Wall Speech at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany given by President Ronald Reagan on Friday, June 12, 1987 who famously said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"  This famous speech from President Regan was given after the 13th G7 Summit, which took place in Venice, Italy between June 8 and June 10, 1987.  The "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" portion begins at 11 minutes 10 seconds into the video.  Construction of The Berlin Wall began on August 13, 1961 at the height of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Destruction of the Berlin Wall began on November 9, 1989. Therefore, the Berlin Wall, and East Germany, was cut off from the Western world for nearly 30 years.

First State of the Union (SOTU) Address by President Barack Obama on January 27, 2010 Courtesy of The Obama White House Archives THE PRESIDENT:  Madam Speaker, Vice President Biden, members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow Americans: Our Constitution declares that from time to time, the President shall give to Congress information about the state of our union.  For 220 years, our leaders have fulfilled this duty. They've done so during periods of prosperity and tranquility.  And they've done so in the midst of war and depression; at moments of great strife and great struggle. It's tempting to look back on these moments and assume that our progress was inevitable -– that America was always destined to succeed.  But when the Union was turned back at Bull Run, and the Allies first landed at Omaha Beach, victory was very much in doubt.  When the market crashed on Black Tuesday, and civil rights marchers were beaten on Bloody Sunday, the future was anything but certain.  These were the times that tested the courage of our convictions, and the strength of our union.  And despite all our divisions and disagreements, our hesitations and our fears, America prevailed because we chose to move forward as one nation, as one people. Again, we are tested.  And again, we must answer history's call. One year ago, I took office amid two wars, an economy rocked by a severe recession, a financial system on the verge of collapse, and a government deeply in debt.  Experts from across the political spectrum warned that if we did not act, we might face a second depression.  So we acted -– immediately and aggressively.  And one year later, the worst of the storm has passed. But the devastation remains.  One in 10 Americans still cannot find work.  Many businesses have shuttered.  Home values have declined.  Small towns and rural communities have been hit especially hard.  And for those who'd already known poverty, life has become that much harder. This recession has also compounded the burdens that America's families have been dealing with for decades –- the burden of working harder and longer for less; of being unable to save enough to retire or help kids with college. So I know the anxieties that are out there right now.  They're not new.  These struggles are the reason I ran for President.  These struggles are what I've witnessed for years in places like Elkhart, Indiana; Galesburg, Illinois.  I hear about them in the letters that I read each night.  The toughest to read are those written by children -– asking why they have to move from their home, asking when their mom or dad will be able to go back to work. For these Americans and so many others, change has not come fast enough.  Some are frustrated; some are angry.  They don't understand why it seems like bad behavior on Wall Street is rewarded, but hard work on Main Street isn't; or why Washington has been unable or unwilling to solve any of our problems.  They're tired of the partisanship and the shouting and the pettiness.  They know we can't afford it.  Not now.

On January 20, 1961, President John F. Kennedy delivered his inaugural address in which he announced that "we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty." Transcript of President John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address (1961) Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, Reverend Clergy, fellow citizens: We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom--symbolizing an end as well as a beginning--signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago. The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage--and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge--and more. To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do--for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom--and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside. To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required--not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge--to convert our good words into good deeds--in a new alliance for progress--to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house. (Abridged) Transcription courtesy of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.

Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth are arguably the two most famous athletes in history and certainly two of the most famous baseball players ever to have played the game in the United States. The following original audio clips are of Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth giving their farewell addresses to baseball. Lou Gehrig’s speech was given at Yankee Stadium on July 4, 1939. He died approximately 2 years later from ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a debilitating neurodegenerative disease, now known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Babe Ruth’s farewell speech was given on June 13, 1948 at Yankee Stadium, also known as the “House that Ruth Built.” Babe Ruth died from cancer approximately two months later, on August 16, 1948. When these two men gave their farewell addresses to baseball, they were also giving their farewell addresses to life here on earth and to all of us who are alive today. Let us remember these two American giants as we live our daily lives before we, too, will someday have to say goodbye to baseball and good bye to you.

On February 18, 2021, a team of women and men at NASA successfully landed the Perseverance Rover on the planet Mars. The Perseverance Rover and accompanying Ingenuity helicopter were launched from Earth on July 30, 2020 and touched down on the surface of Mars on February 18, 2021 at 3:55pm EST. The Mars 2020 mission was led by NASA’s Mars Exploration Program and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The success of the Mars mission builds on the successes of previous American trailblazers like John Glenn, the first American to circle Earth’s Orbit, which he circled three times in 1962, as well as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, the first humans to land on the moon, which they successfully completed aboard Apollo 11. Approximately 6 hours after landing, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969. Even the mistakes and lessons learned from the Apollo 13 “Houston, we have a problem” mission have helped prepare us for the success of the Mars 2020 and 2021 mission. As a reminder, the Apollo 13 mission was the mission where the astronauts were not able to touch down on the moon because of oxygen and electrical power generation problems. However, the crew was still successful in returning to Earth, alive. The scenario which unfolded aboard the Apollo 13 mission was even turned into the 1995 adventure drama movie, “Apollo 13,” starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon and Ed Harris. This type of human achievement, ranging from Apollo 11 to Apollo 13 to the recent successful Mars 2020 mission, including the human-history shattering landing of the Perseverance Rover on the planet Mars is only possible when humans of all political parties, of all creeds and passions, from all walks of life, from all ethnic backgrounds, consider one another as friends and neighbors, without suspicion and mistrust, and collaborate together toward a common goal.

To see subtitles of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, visit the YouTube video clip here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHVa5xhThos&feature=youtu.be On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first human beings to land on the moon. Approximately 6 hours after landing, Neil Armstrong became the first human to step foot on the moon. The following is an audio recording of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin communicating from the moon to Earth as he is guided by a team of brilliant men and women of NASA in Houston, Texas. Notice the precision of the verbal-only guidance given to these two American heroes, who risked their lives for the sake of human progress. Also keep in mind this audio recording from the 1960s is from two humans docked on the surface of our moon communicating with fellow human beings here on Earth of all stripes and colors, from all political parties, from all walks of life, with a clear goal to enable a human being to step foot, walk and explore our moon. This type of human achievement is possible when Americans of all political parties, of all creeds and passions, from all walks of life, from all ethnic backgrounds, consider one another as colleagues, friends and neighbors, without suspicion, and without mistrust, and collaborate together toward a common goal.  #inspirational #spokenword #moon #bestpodcast #history

On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. Robert F. Kennedy, the brother of former President John F. Kennedy, addressed the supporters of his own 1968 Presidential Campaign the next day. Not long after giving this speech, Robert F. Kennedy himself was assassinated on June 5, 1968, after winning the California and South Dakota primaries for President of the United States. This song and podcast were made in honor of Black History Month in 2021, after the entire United States, and the world, collectively overcame 2020, the year of worldwide shutdowns and lockdowns due to the Covid-19 global pandemic.

This song builds on the inspirational words of John F. Kennedy (JFK) and can remind us of what is possible when we work together. This song and the motivational message from former American President John F. Kennedy (JFK) also offer a glimpse of what might be possible if we all worked together as fellow human beings working toward common human goals, such as the promotion of freedom of expression, freedom of religion, eliminating poverty across the world, providing clean access to water and shelter to every human on earth, providing high-quality healthcare to every human on earth, eradicating cancer, and many other "moonshot" goals. #inspirational #moon #mars #landing

JFK (John F. Kennedy) gave one of his most inspirational speeches in 1962 at Rice University. This remix produced by the podcaster will give you goosebumps listening to it. This song and podcast episode is a tribute to the men and women of NASA who successfully landed on Mars on February 18, 2021. Elon Musk of SpaceX, Jeff Bezos of Blue Origin, and Richard Branson of Virgin Galactic will be close behind. “But why, some say, the Moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon…We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard!” -John F. Kennedy at Rice University in 1962 making his famous We Choose to Go the Moon speech which helped accelerate America’s space exploration

We’ve all been exposed to K-Pop these days, whether you’re an American Twitter user, where you see K-Pop often drowning out trending controversial hashtags, or living in China or Japan feeling the “Korean Wave,” or are even living in North Korea, where up to 70% of North Koreans are exposed to K-Pop by listening to recordings on flash drives according to some estimates and reports. Even Kim Jung Un of North Korea hosted a history shattering K-Pop concert featuring hit K-Pop group Red Velvet and over 100 other groups in March/April 2018 just before the Peace summit between the two Koreas later that year. The impact of K-Pop on global diplomacy cannot be overstated. As one example, the South Koreans for some time regularly blasted K-Pop across the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating North and South Korea, exposing North Koreans within 5-10 miles of the border to western culture, ideals and what life might be like outside of the Hermit Kingdom. K-Pop is much more than music, as it serves as soft power for spreading ideals cherished by Americans, South Koreans and others living in the Western world like freedom of expression, fundamental human rights and the value of human life, including the American ideal of the “Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness,” laid out in the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The Billboard Charts agree, with K-Pop now having its own dedicated category! Topics covered in this podcast episode include: The Korean Wave, or “Hallyu” 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea 2018 K-Pop Peace Concert in Pyongyang, North Korea “Spring is Coming” K-Pop Industry The KPop Explosion K-Pop and Mental Health Awareness Karma The K-Pop revolution, and the Korean Wave it produced, known as Hallyu, started with a group known as H.O.T., an acronym for the Highfive of Teenagers, in 1996. The music category blew up in 2012 with Psy’s single “Gangnam Style" and many new Korean bands have sprung up since, including Girls Generation, Twice, BlackPink, Red Velvet, Wonder Girls, and T-ara, all female-only groups. These kpop groups are far different from the most popular boy bands of the United States such as Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, 98 Degrees, the Jonas Brothers, who came on the scene with Miley Cyrus, and the original US boy-band: the Jackson Five. The American boy bands are quite literally composed of males-only vs. female-only or female-prominent bands in Korea. The most popular current kpop bands include BTS, which stands for Bantan Sonyeon Dan, iKON, Seventeen, Twice, Red Velvet, and Girls Generation, pictured here. Please help spread the word about kpop's contribution to world peace, mental health and entertainment by sharing this podcast episode with as many friends and family as you can think of... Thanks all!

A Very Brief History of Electronic Music There are countless numbers of electronic music genres and categories. It’s easy to get lost in what is house vs. dubstep vs. electronica vs. EDM vs. electro-house etc., as well as an endless number of subcategories of these genres. The advent of YouTube streaming along with DJs working from home all over the world (including novices, pros, & future stars alike!) has transformed how we think about and listen to electronic music. These “everyman DJs” popping up all over the world are able to mix and match their favorite or original beats with the most popular pop and R&B hits today into one long streaming mashup playlist that you can listen to whenever you want on YouTube, Spotify, Soundcloud or any other of the best music streaming apps today. Some of the most popular EDM stations on YouTube include the world-famous Tomorrowland’s “after movie,” which is as much a visual sensation festival as it is a music concert, Spinnin’ Records, NoCopyRightSounds and Ultra Music. So where did all this amazing electronic music begin: in Europe or in America? The answer is a bit of both, as you will learn here. It is widely recognized that the original house music took place in the night clubs of Chicago and NYC during the 1970s, including in The Warehouse nightclub of Chicago. Many consider the origin of house music to be in Chicago’s The Warehouse under the then-musical director DJ Frankie Knuckles. At this time, there was a lack of new music being developed and many DJs in these clubs were forced to recycle old tunes and remix new music variants into the early forms of “mashups.” Mashups are now one of the most popular forms of electronic music, where DJs and listeners can listen to the top pop and R&B songs all mashed up together into one long mashup song. One of the top mashups of all time is “Rhythm is a Dancer” which remixes the original “Rhythm is a Dancer” from the German electronic group Snap! with some of the most well-known American pop stars including Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez/ J.Lo, Bruno Mars, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande and Rihanna (listen below). So did these hottest mashups today originate in Europe from groups like Snap! or from household-name American pop stars today? Likely a combination where one brick builds on another brick to create a great pyramid…the Great Electronic Music Pyramid! Much of the current and trending electronic music today features a mix of the top pop and R&B vocals with electronic beats mixed in the background. Some examples of genres include electronica, hip hop house, Latin house and many other electronic music categories. Ambient electronic music doesn’t quite have the intensity of some of these other genres and may be more suitable for streaming while you work, especially if the vocals of a lot of the house music becomes distracting. Funky house is best epitomized by Daft Punk, the groovy electronic group from Paris, France. The full album of Random Access Memories, their most recent and popular album, can be streamed on YouTube. Metallica (love them or hate them) helped reinvent the way we listen to orchestral music, and repopularized traditional symphony music sounds, such as the violin, organ, cello, and viola by combining the best symphony sounds from a real orchestra playing alongside Metallica’s best hits like Master of Puppets, Nothing Else Matters, Enter Sandman and Hero of the Day. Lindsey Stirling is a great more recent example (and more mellow music example!), who combines a masterful use of the violin, combined with, and punctuated by, electronic sounds and stunning visuals. Eurodance is one of the top electronic music genres and is best listened to live at Tomorrowland, Ibiza, and London. Please share this episode with as many friends as you know who might care about the history of music!

Many of us sometimes wonder if we are alone in the universe. The universe is too vast and probabilities are so high (or are they) that life in some form must exist elsewhere. Then why haven’t we found life yet? We will explore something called Fermi’s Paradox below and attempt to analyze whether such a paradox is really a paradox after all. We will also cover some of the vast arrays of technologies being used and being built to help us discover any life close enough to Earth to detect. For example, one of the primary routes being used by scientists to identify signatures of other intelligent life is by analyzing radio waves in order to find particular signatures or patterns which could conceivably be construed as “messages.” By one estimate from Time magazine, we could find extraterrestrial life by 2040 given how quickly we are able to process the data from these inbound radio waves. That’s the same year as a new US Presidential election. Just in time for a Martian to run as an independent third-party candidate! *What’s intelligent life anyway?* There has been an extraordinary amount of research and research dollars being poured into the identification of UFOs. However, UFOs should not be confused with extraterrestrial life. UFOs are simply “unidentified flying objects.” There is a not-so-subtle difference between “extraterrestrial life” and unidentified objects flying in ranges common for drones and airplanes (including military aircraft) that are not immediately recognizable on our radar screens. The question of extraterrestrial life itself might be broken into several components of how we categorize life in the first place. For instance, we might think of intelligence on a gradient of intelligence relative to life forms that we humans recognize: *The Drake Equation* The Drake Equation was developed by the astrophysicist Frank Drake, who chairs the SETI Institute in California. The Drake Equation attempts to estimate the number of advanced civilizations in our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Drake uses simple probabilities to help organize our obviously true ignorance of the truth on extraterrestrial life. For instance, he estimates the number of lifeforms based on the number of habitable planets. The number of habitable planets is simply a percentage range of the total planets. The total number of planets is based on the number of stars in our galaxy. Of course, the number of galaxies is an extraordinary figure, which by many estimates is still growing, even exponentially. Each sub-possibility (number of galaxies, number of stars, number of solar systems, number of Earth-like planets, etc.) is a derivative of the other.  *UFOs and Hollywood* As noted above, UFOs are simply “unidentified flying objects” and do not signify aliens but seem to take up a lot of the oxygen on the subject of extraterrestrial life. For instance, the New York Times dropped a “bombshell” in 2017 that acknowledged a $22 million program run out of the Pentagon for identifying various UFOs. Rumors about Area 51 have been turned into endless TV series like the X-Files and major Hollywood blockbusters like Independence Day with Will Smith, Bill Pullman, and Jeff Goldblum. If you’d like to rewatch this coming Independence Day, it’s easily streamable on Hulu, Google Play, or Amazon Prime. There’s even a sequel called Independence Day: Resurgence, featuring some of the original actors like Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum, along with some new stars like Liam Hemsworth and some up and coming stars like Maika Monroe. You can stream Independence Day: Resurgence on YouTube, Google Play, or Amazon Prime, but fair warning that the sequel only gets 30% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 5/10 on IMDB. #aliens #extraterrestrial #sapiens #ufo #ufos #LiamHemsworth #MaikaMonroe #henrygindt #googleplay #bestyoutubestreaming #huntforlife #gocheezy

In this podcast episode, we'll recap the top 10 benefits of sleep (listen to the earlier episode from GoCheezy) and offer 7 practical ways to get better sleep and improve your sleep hygiene.  Don’t read (or work) from a computer or phone screen late at night to avoid the disruptive blue light emitted. The light emitted from these screens seems to have an effect on our body’s production of melatonin. You might try jotting down a to-do list which can help ease your mind and relax knowing “it will be taken care of tomorrow.” Maintain a fixed time to wake up each day and go to bed at night. This includes trying to wake up and fall asleep at similar hours during the weekend so our body’s circadian rhythm is not disrupted. Try to focus on breathing and mediation rather than “trying to sleep” as the mere effort of trying to fall asleep can be anxiety-inducing. Try staring at the ceiling, counting 50 to 100 long deep breaths, and then rolling over onto your side (or other preferred sleeping position) to now “try to fall asleep.” This life hack can work miracles. Exercise during the day. Healthy habits throughout the day can also improve our sleep quality. Getting adequate exercise during the day will also improve your ability to fall asleep and maintain deep rejuvenating rest. Your body will simply be more “ready” for sleep, not to mention the sustained relaxation during the day following good exercise. Avoid alcohol. Having even a glass or two of alcohol before bedtime may make it easier to fall asleep, but the alcohol disturbs your sleep cycle overall which prevents deep and restful sleep. Maybe that’s why hangovers are so painful? We get both sleep deprivation + brain dehydration at the same time…double whammy! Avoid large meals before bedtime. Some also say that eating a large amount of food just before bed is a definite no-no, though an occasional late-night (healthy) snack may be just what your body needs. Turning your body into a big digestion mode may disrupt sleep by reallocating our body’s resources to digestion rather than repairing and cleaning. Maintain a healthy physical sleeping environment. Maintaining optimal physical surroundings where you sleep is also critical. For instance, many health professionals say that your bedroom should be reserved for either sleep or sex (or reading). It becomes more and more difficult to turn our brains off and fall asleep when we are working from our bed just before turning off the lights or staying glued to episode 124 of Breaking Bad or worse yet, watching 15 more minutes of the adrenaline-inducing political food-fight on Fox and CNN.

In this podcast, we'll cover the top 10 benefits of sleep with research-informed by studies from the National Institutes of Health, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, sleep.org, and Web MD. | *Top 10 Benefits of Sleep* | 1. The brain can store the key information processed during the day If we compare our brain to a computer, we might think of the brain itself as the hardware and the learning and experiencing as routine software upgrades. Each day we live, we register new experiences and life lessons. Sleep allows our brains to store some of the most important information and learnings in our human hard drive. For instance, the 30-year-old you is in some ways an upgraded 20-year-old you just like a 40 or 50 or 60-year-old you will have decades more software updates. See, getting older is just like installing the latest version of our apps! 2. The brain can delete junk memory clogging up the mental hard drive In much the same way our brain stores and registers key information and learnings from throughout the day, the brain also discards superfluous information. To build on the brain-computer analogy, sleep is sort of like a computer system undergoing maintenance where viruses are removed. In some ways, the brain’s “recycle bin” gets emptied. 3. Physical rejuvenation of our body’s cells takes place We seem to be obsessed with protein consumption from our diets. But, did you know that a lot of the protein production takes place while we sleep? According to Cleveland Clinic, the body actually ramps up protein production while we’re asleep. Wow, so maybe a good night’s rest can be as important or more important than the protein shake or the latest trending intense group workout class! 4. Lower blood pressure According to Mayo Clinic, blood pressure is usually lower during much of our sleep cycle. Therefore, if you are getting less sleep (including the highly restorative deep sleep), your body’s blood pressure will be higher on average over a given 24 hour period. The most well-known circadian rhythm is our sleep-wake cycle, which we might refer to as our “24-hour human body clock.”  5. Insulin sensitivity repaired potentially reducing the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes According to sleep.org, sleepfoundation.org and WebMD, insulin and blood glucose levels are managed during sleep. There is also a surge of glucose levels in our bodies a few hours before we wake up. Having adequate insulin sensitivity helps our body remove excess glucose from our blood. Type 2 diabetes develops as our bodies become resistant to insulin. 6. Caloric consumption reduced…it’s hard to snack while asleep for most of us! Naturally, when we are asleep, our body is not “running on all 12 cylinders.” Many parts of our body are powered down as our body enters “build and repair” mode. Having proper levels of various hormones can also affect how hungry we are during the day.  7. Hormones are produced including growth hormone (particularly important for adolescents)  Hormones regulate many of our body’s functions. These hormones are particularly important among adolescents during growth and development. It’s quite alarming how sleep-deprived teens are in America today. 8. Production and adequate maintenance of the neurotransmitter serotonin Serotonin is an important hormone that helps stabilize mood. It also can increase overall feelings of well-being and happiness 9. Possible disease prevention for a variety of diseases, including cancer, developing Type 2 diabetes, and possibly even delaying the onset of Alzheimer's. 10. Last but not least…dreaming is fun!
