text:  Thanks for having me, Rick. How are you? I'm good. It sounds like you've had a great experience up in the Pacific Northwest. I sure love the Pacific Northwest. So I'm originally from Germany, but now I live in Arizona. And I love being up in the Pacific Northwest near the ocean. And many years ago, I had this wonderful experience where I was at the shore and I saw a pod of orca swimming by. And that moment, I don't want to say it was life-changing.
