>> So
I call David asked me to tell over a
story. How did I get here? You're
wondering how did I get to this Montreal
in the freezing cold?
Well, first of all,
I have hundreds and hundreds of cousins
in this community called the Dolphins.
They're all my relatives. Every single
one.
>> Many dolphins
>> and the Freed
and the Hopkins.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> And the list goes on. I don't know any
of them, but they're all my cousins.
In 1941
when the nine Buckham came here
my family were from the first supporters
of Rabi Kramer show him the yeshiva
Charles Dolphin Mori Dolphin
>> Meny Dolphin.
So we have a connection. My father came
here
and I think his name was tenant house.
My father came
off the ship
and his money was stolen.
Sat famous wealthy philanthropist get
ber was on his ship and he saw the way
my father dabbled. came out of
came out of it came out of the dab of
and he said ordinarily I wouldn't give
you any money cuz you made a minion of
people and to me they're billionaire
but you made the minion and I saw the
way you den
you have no money I'm going to give you
$5 and a bottle of coke and some of my
chicken
and That's when we made the ship and
that's how he came to America. $5 in his
pocket cuz it was stolen. The money was
stolen.
And Gastenburgger told him, "I'm giving
you this, but tonight there's a
condition
that when you come to America, you must
go see."
My father said, "You got a deal." My
father's from Romania. Roman, you know,
they got smarts.
He'll deal with the soccer later. Now he
needs the $5,
but he did live up the condition.
He got a job in the Williamsburg in the
Sakura bakery because of course you need
to make some money. He had no money. And
who comes in? The Sak. That's how I saw
the Sak.
Another story.
My father was a frank on the way out of
SLO. He stayed in six months till he got
his visa.
that was, you know, to come in into
America through tells through a gifter,
a morph gifter.
>> That Zen was a big ask him as you know
in Frank Paris. My father came to him if
I had my father and my father did well
and he said I need a visa. I I want to
get I want to come to America. I want to
see the EPA. I want to make I want to
get married. I want to make some money.
Hulu hulu.
Anderson
wrote to Martha Gifter, can you give him
um visa to come in?
Affidavit. Thank you. Affidavit
[clears throat]
saw the name and he gave him when he
came my father had it was very
difficult. Yeshiva had severe stomach
problems
and uh he was older really 21.
But he Rabbi Gifter gave him the the
affidavit. So he took he took a plane
from New York to Cleveland to tell Rab
Gifter in a nice way, I love you, but I
can't stay here and learn thought.
He saw him. He said, you lied to me.
I thought it said Damon.
There's a spar a dolph
you're a din and you're a laby with a
crooked hat
go to nashad
you're not going to come take my
affidavit that I need for as far as your
kids
my father said to me I'm telling you the
truth I'd love to sit and learn and stay
here and learn in Cleveland tells but I
just can't and I came to say thank you
to You say went there to tell him thank
you knowing that a giftter is going to
give him over the head which he did
and he went back.
So
I remember I was here maybe 20 25 years
ago longer
and someone told me the name of the
property of the yeshiva I think
was
donated by a woman named I think Ida
Bloomberg or something.
She's a relative of the Denvers.
>> Oh Ida Bloomberg. Yes.
>> Ida Bloomberg.
>> Yes.
>> She's a relative of the Denver.
>> Denver. Yes. Yes.
>> Yes. and the story that was also
from she wasn't she wasn't so she said
to the freed
1940s like taking
my money you know a donation the said
only said only
God knows who's really from
what's an acronym for it
Right.
Mitzvah,
mitzvah,
lots of evil, lots of bad and little
mitzvah from expressions. Well, he said
religious like a priest that's
let me take it from this. I had a his
name was
a Russian
emiss
first first 29 years of his life he was
in line
he once came to the
and it was I think
at that time flying probably the 1960s
early 70s no I'm sorry early 70s
and he comes
He's starving me. He's been 30 36 hours
on a on a plane. This plane made by
Indonesia and here and there. But he's
got how he flew finally comes to 770.
2:00 in the morning he comes in. It's
dark. You can't imagine both of them
right 770 should be dark and quiet.
It can't be right. In those days, even
in my days, at a certain time, the
lights went off. There's one light left
in the vic under the bikers or somewhere
else, you know. Awar comes in
and
there's no one there except one.
I think he's related to the cones,
right? Married sisters's
daughters. seven daughters
and he sees Nafal is you know my he's a
Russian
and my says
maybe you have something to eat I'm
starving you know I haven't eaten my
didn't eat on the plane there's no suka
he didn't drink either
after he said
it's 2:00 a.m. 7:70 is shut, closed,
dark. There's no one around.
Let me see if I have something. And he
comes back with stale bread.
A loaf of stale bread. A fair looks at
says, "Ah,
listen to this. Listen to this."
He gives him the stale bread.
My turns to
Napolei and he says, "Who washes it?
Where do you wash?" He says, "Over there
in the corridor upstairs, right, there's
a sink next to the Y room."
My starts going there to wash.
And then he turns back around.
He says, "Oh, I guess I forgot.
Who is the Z?
Where is the salt?" Cuz you're supposed
to dip the bread. Not in mayonnaise, not
a tuna fish, not an avocado, but in
salt.
After wants to fall in 2 a.m. I hardly I
found you scale bread. There's nothing
else to eat.
And you want salt
instead of 70 salt?
And he says to
sorry I don't have salt.
[snorts]
>> My sh takes the loaf of bread gives it
back and he says thank you but no thank
you.
He doesn't eat it because he doesn't
have salt.
You talk about Yiddish.
Who of us
starving after 36 hours on a plane will
turn down a piece of stale bread? You
probably turn it down cuz it's stale.
But even if you didn't turn it down, you
turn it down cuz you don't have a little
salt. You got to be kidding.
>> That's Shamaya.
>> That's Lavich. That's
real Yiddishaya.
not fake bluff.
This is what we're made out of. This is
who we are. This is what we need to
aspire to. You know, it says this talks
about everything compared to the English
that is nothing
famous,
right? And I think about the story. It's
like everything I do is nothing nothing
compared to a ye like this
who won't eat a piece of stale bread 2
a.m. because he doesn't have a little
salt.
That's
And you need to think about this. We
need to think about where is our
so we talk about I was speaking to the
who was willing I think
or the other
who was willing to give away their bed
for
so one of the buff answered I'll give it
away but he had a condition no
conditions. You have a guest,
give him away your bed. Are you ready?
Are you real about or is it
that's tailored to your ideas? You
understand?
So when we learn and this isn't
we're this isn't this is healthy
to really look at ourselves and to see
how small we are how infantile we are or
in Yiddish how garnished we are yet we
are everything because says I want you
and I need you.
>> So
story that I believe the didn't hear. I
heard this from
who told me heard it from Yudman who was
a and he was a brother to out.
I'm giving you the shelter,
right?
No, sorry.
Rises raises. His name was Pinik
from
whose father was who was the second in
command after the vag by the vagin
becomes a he was a
and becomes a
>> in those days when you did that they
literally sack sha for you.
If you're going to join the C the coat
kebab
see this out
is
he becomes a
>> you want to throw me out throw me out
two years go by
he hasn't seen his father his father
hasn't seen him because he ostracized
He threw him out.
One day he's sitting in a park
walks by and P is sitting and thinking
tighter think see this what does do when
he goes to the
like whatever green glass set under
thinks see this things tighter.
I myself saw that walking home many
times seven to his house. He accompanied
him and he looked the Reb was murmuring.
The Reb was saying as he was walking in
the street was fulfilled with
he was aid
took the words
as you walk in the streets of Montreal,
Manhattan, Chicago, Indonesia, wherever
you are.
And the Reb did it right. So
is doing that, picks up his head, and he
sees someone walking by and it looks
like his father. He hasn't seen him in
two years.
And his father [clears throat] looks at
him and he sees what looks like his son
Pinas.
>> They come closer.
They come closer.
Are you Pinas K? Are you my captain? are
you my father? And they hug each other
and he sees aid with a pis or a beard in
Pis
with a capot
and he says, "I don't believe it. I
thought you joined a cult and you became
not religious and all that. You mean
you're still religious?" And now only
he says, "Yeah."
So he says to him,
>> "Who taught you to be from and so from?"
He says, "My Reb, your Reb, you mean the
coat that you're joining?" He says,
"Yes, my rebal."
So he says,
"I have to see your Reb.
If your rebel
can make you such a ye
I have to sing it. I want to talk with
you. You understand this? The second in
command under the go.
So says once a year comes to
and by the way
the deepest
was said in I heard this from was a big
book is my
deepest
and where is
anyway
so
he says Once a year the comes to club
because there is
alab
who lived in this community
would say that the label
in in in
Sloan was called the damsko.
You know damska means a dam woman the
feminine
you know for the weaklings for the
females
a gra with a big
chandelier
a few benches and herring on the table
know that
so [laughter]
tells his Father Alba comes to our
stable
and explains a shabas and he says
it's it's what we call Shabas. It's an
awesome Shabas. It's not just a Shabas.
It's a Shabas.
Come shabas spend shabas with with us in
glove in the in the
shabas gives to every anyone that wants
to come in to see
that you can go in
and
is there and he cannot believe what he
hears and sees the devotion the like the
TA the the nagina
a real real authentic
shabas
shabas. He goes in
and he says the following words to the
alterb
calls him
>> receive me accept me under your wings.
In other words I want to become I want
to be your hus. Now, I'm going to tell
you what the said, and I want you to
think and listen to it with
with your cup. Okay? Don't listen to it.
Don't hear it narrow. And I'll explain a
little bit. Dr. Rebe answers,
"You want to be my you want me to accept
you? A fine request, but I can't." Wow.
Why not?
Not because it
but the alterba quoted
we don't say our is called
the and others they say on the ballot
paras they say special prayers called
and also on the shabas before
if you look it up
it follows the days and then there's
I'll quote to you what it says
test
menu or menu.
What does it mean? What does we really
mean with paras? The paras cement,
right? Teeth,
the world to come
sprout forth from it. very enigmatic.
It makes no sense.
The
is the following type
also in Hiddish means a
do
a
tit there is a type of a do
that's really
the world to come
And when it's
come out of this table, you know what
the table is? The
and the little kid and the and the
tickle.
And he says to
You must give from that table. You're
not cut out of this bowl.
Now, what does that mean? You can't
become a if you didn't if you weren't
born or
no.
Is your mindset as we said earlier in
the mind of the paradigm? Is your
paradigm the stickle table the kite? You
can sermonize and you can dion and you
could know but if you don't have the
kkite the vite of a little piece of
herring with a little be it wine be it
vodka be it sc
toasting to someone for their nishama of
the parent or a friend etc.
then you're not shy. Not that you of
course you can do everything.
The message is such a powerful this
story to me is a classic important story
of what is
the what I saw by my you know he was a
real Russian. What I saw by this ye is
just this exact idea. Mamesh I'll give
you an example he was living the last 25
years of his life in in in pranites
across 77
when there was tish he and his wife went
to I think it's to mendle handle or that
that organization and they
offered to peel herrings and mices for
hours unsolicited
why so she to eat so get what to eat
didn't make it wasn't on co it wasn't
publicized
when he was in Australia the I think
there Kramer he told me
had a car didn't have a car the mikvah
wasn't where they were at
yeshiva in that area you had a ghost
gave him the car
without questions you have insurance you
don't have destroys. You know how to how
to drive. Give him the car. They both
have to go to the mikvah though.
I'm not suggesting we do crazy wild
things. I'm not suggesting that. Talking
about the attitude. The attitude and the
mindset.
It's not my car. The keys never leave
the ignition. The story I told you
before with Flamish Schwarz and the
other in California, there's no it's not
mine. It's not mine. It's ours. And when
we live this way and we feel this way,
then we have sidus.
The Reb, our Reb lived this way. Not
in every situation,
in every situation, he lived this way.
You know, Debb
came from a place
Russia.
Hard times,
difficult times. My wife Zer Zman who
was the one who started the yeshiva and
the mus in in Australia. Many times he
has probably three two 300 letters. He
make a whole safer from the letters of
the Reb to him and him to the Rebel.
And many of those letters he cries his
heart out about situations on the
ground. And look at for those that are
printed there. The Reb says to him
always cut out this
is not talking to me.
was born in 1904, 2 years after the
rebues
pay
said come with me to defeat the learning
and I'm sorry
come with me
and to the reb
said I'm not ready. Could you imagine
you're offered a ticket in those days
didn't feel he knows what it means to be
spent with him months learning with him
see this and explaining him what a reb
is what his consciousness is and then
for I believe when Katcha offered him a
ticket he said now I'm ready to go now
I'm ready to go by the way
I have a video if you haven't seen it
it's online it's worth watching
[snorts]
talks about and his brother he met them
and he describes them it's very
interesting they put in early days they
they cited it
so
the babiden
Wherever you are,
there there is a mess. You know, there's
a message. There's a approach.
If you're in that, you're in. If not,
you're not in yet. You're not in yet.
You could get in, but you have to
dedicate yourself to this. And this
takes work.
And work is healthy. If you don't work,
my father always said, you know, as a
Romanian Jew,
you know what a zak means?
A means lazy. Zach is a sack, but it
doesn't rhyme in English. You're a lazy
guy
work.
My father always taugh taught us growing
up, you don't get the job that you want,
go out and paint windows. slept water
talking about
one simple
Zion I forget one of the years
I went into the 770 after's
room
would go in and then he would go home
and then he would sit for hours at his
table
so I went into the room
and I said to him cuz it was a man it
was a very a very special time. I said,
"Do Zap, say something. Tell me
something. Tell me something."
And I was very surprised when he told
me. And he said, and I guess this was on
his mind. And why it was on his mind, I
don't know. And he said it to me. It
crushed me.
He said,
"Can't imagine
what type of poverty
We had when we came there to Soul in
40 45
he didn't cry but he was so broken
and as soon as the night after dancing
hakus
that's what he shared with me
I don't know why but that's what he
shared with me and I share it with you
>> again not to bring out the negative and
and the depressive and all that.
But when you know where you come from
and you know where you could reach then
the world is open to you.
It's mish is
so simp.
It's a time of
happiness
but happiness doesn't mean
Louis had authority he would share but
he could say loves the
and the seriousness of
will come in this in the later years
[clears throat]
would say basically cut it out
Yada
to reach a point of yada
is
not to drink and become cuckoo and and
and and [laughter] sugar. You want to
make yourself silly, do it on
teach us that that
there there is there is an avoid here.
There is a path. There is a trajectory.
There is a mahalik. This isn't just
I'm here today, gone tomorrow.
Who lives like that?
My father always used the words not such
an angel but it's important.
[laughter]
He lives a pigish day
like a
life's about. Living like a khazering
and sleeping and surfing the internet.
That's what life's about.
Learn another
learn another super another
go out with a do something meaningful.
What are you wasting your time for? The
worst things to waste your time in your
brain. You're frying YOUR BRAIN NOT
THROUGH DRUGS BUT THROUGH WASTING YOUR
TIME.
Do what is meaningful.
And that's what is it teaches you to be
meaningful to be serious. serious
doesn't mean I was telling uh one of the
groups I was speaking to today to walk
around
but serious means
there's something important happening
right now that teaches us Msiah is a
reality it's not a figment we say in
English a figment of someone's
imagination
Someone made up an idea of come a day
Msiah will come
on
every day is a Msiah day how when
you know it's interesting
when the
of the came to him and he said that they
want to
do a reciprocal
which means is an excommunication on the
go who put a nation of an
excommunication on the al on the siden.
So they said
that if they they were told in or
whatever the case they were told
that unless they can find someone who
can match the blowing it won't work
so of pelov believe in the flame of
kadina
different
who the two came to the alter and they
said you are the one that can match the
gl learn learning the male
In order for us to succeed with putting
a reciprocal
communication on the coin, we need you
to join to sign.
after the doubt never said no and you
know why it's printing the print
if you put him in other places said
because
if I if we put the type this is what
said if the type of excommunication that
we would have to put on the blind would
be one that will cause him to have
and that will cause a great kill and I'm
not participating
because there'll be a great kill
said to the with who was standing there
the way I heard it I can't find
exactly but something similar
okay he cursed
by say we'll see who will cause
I'm not going into the story now a whole
discussion of other mas wrote a book
about it I'm not going to go into right
now but
I want to bring out that who did not
want to put on the the excommunication
on the all of them were willing all the
they were willing to put the
said no. You talk about it's now a
bloodline.
May he help us
that we live, we try, we live more and
more with these truths and we don't let
anything get in our the way and we ta
have real love and concern about
everyone each other and and and and
not and not allow
you know conditions and exceptions and
reasons. excuses
when the freed came to America. Listen
to this
tough path 1929
1930.
So he stayed for the first two weeks in
Burough Park on the corner of 46th
Street and 14th Avenue which then there
was a house on the corner. It was
Abelius Simpson's new house. Abelia
Simpson the Rashab first lived in
Harlem. His brother lived there. Then he
moved over. Took a job in revolution
which they knocked down off Malik on
12th and 41st
100 year old shu. He was there but there
were you know a lot of knock from people
in issues in 1928
was there. So 1929 he makes his own shul
I believe builds a shul new house gives
the second floor to the fikba. So if you
look at the gem video the fab is poking
from the porch that's on the corner of
46 and 14th Avenue. I made a clip on it
if you want to know details on YouTube
for those that
look at YouTube.
So
they came raon came from all over to
play New York area to give shenan to the
reb to right and it was a balagan
and people couldn't get in the next day
got complaints from that he came to see
him they couldn't say show him so the
reb called rabbi Jacobson who came in
1926. Simpson came to America in 1923.
He came in 26
and the Reb says,
"I thought you would make sed and you
let in you organize it." And it was so
Jacobson said that
you know Simpson the Kramers they're
older they've been here longer you know
like he didn't blame them but he's like
saying I'm the new kid on the block I
don't want to you know
stick my nose in where I don't belong
listen to what the said at label altered
label in our borrow park said that
the reb that that Rabbi Jac walked
around with this in his pocket all of
his life. The following answer from the
next
excuses.
Excuses are excuses.
You have a good excuse.
Remember Simpson came earlier. The
Kramers are in charge. You don't want
to, you know, stick your nose. You don't
belong.
excuses.
Reb Jacobson walking around with the
Reverend Jacobson who was a isha a great
man a great great man talked about him
all night and asking amiti there's a
lotion lab they showed me in the kdesh
tremendous lion that the rebel writes
about rabbi Jacobson mameish and niflid
all the American boys the heads
ki barnetski and levy
all kind on and on they're all his they
would have been if they would have been
from okay they learned in teras
told me I spoke to him a lot old time
told me you can't imagine what was going
on in New York and in Brooklyn in 1920s
and 30s where boys went to kayen and
teragas during the day and the night
they went to college to Brooklyn college
they became a purism because of one
Jewish professor professor who was a
denier of biblical of
a shamayan and he they had a course
called biblical criticism, biblical
analysis
and he killed
boys that were learning in the morning
and
told him this told him this. He knew
these boys his friends.
So the fba
told this to Rabbi Jacobson and he keeps
it in his jacket his cap pocket till his
day of passing cuz he no excuses he
always LOOK FOR EXCUSES EXCUSES
more excuses for husband from excuses
you're right you're right you have a
reason
but the only
the poor person has to eat
side Let's stop with the excuses.
Let's get get to work all the
we have to do tenfold 100fold
and to revitalize and bring to the other
in a in a peaceful way in a shik way.
You had a ye here nim
the bells of dine. I think Rav Nim was
the the the grand I think the grandson
or the son of the story with the Reb in
1903 when he fell asleep on the sofa
with Freud. You know that story
spoke about it
was from the third daughter. You have
people around here
to see this
to see this.
See this is
the emash.
You heard it.
Whatever you consider sweet and honey
and the best. We have honey here, right?
Whatever you consider
consider precious and dear to God.
This is when he told me the name of the
heard from a tight
I told this over to a pillchick who was
stone the pillchicks
whose father and uncle learned in 770
and they would always say we were so
close to becoming a truth but our father
pulled us out at the last minute so we
remain stoner. Fine. So the son
wonderful person and you know Levitan's
son big young Levitton was married
a pilgrim. So they had a lot of stories
about that. So
he said that
that
this I told him this and every time he
sees him he says
Remind me again.
Let's let's let's emulate that.
I think we'll end the put on the formal
part. And uh the imother
from Montreal to New York,
>> especially if you're flying. So the
angel helped them to come back

people
shabas in Australia

gald beautiful and shul
for many years was

I don't know if if he came tonight did
anyone to see
Professor Alan Nagler. Was he here
tonight?
>> No,
>> I don't think so.
>> He told me he was coming, but I guess he
didn't make it.
He had this tire.
Relax. Relax.
The Reb knows how to take care of
himself. Believe me.
You know I write I've written many
swarum that I wrote there and I write
sometimes controversial things
but how you write it how you position it
how to look at people how to understand
two sides to the coin
I'm not saying it's for everybody
but
hashem I can tell you that I've been
invited to many different kinds of
groups and organizations with
philosophies and shittas. It makes no
difference. When you talk in the heart,
it makes no difference.
I want to end off with one more story.
>> Pleasure.
>> What?
>> In the cat schools, there's a bungalow
called Mountain Lodge. You've heard of
it? Yeah.
>> Why? Why used to be the rever? Right.
>> So,
>> there was a yeameis. His name was Mendel
Greenbound. Grimblain.
I think one of the brothers Yasi learned
here in Montreal.
Their father Remendal was in the Korean
War.
Ramen drove
in the 1940s.
It was a simple yeet. I knew Ramen. I
spent time with him in Florida talking
and interviewing him, which by the way I
didn't say earlier and unfortunately I
should have said it.
Not that I need your business, but I
don't want you to go to the earth with
all your memories buried.
Young people, I'm not talking to you
with the older people. You have a whole
life in front of you. I'm sorry. A whole
life with you. Who knows your story?
Trust me, your kids don't really know
your story. Most kids don't.
You need to get someone to do oral
history, family oral history. Not
talking about German, but talking about
your life, your parents, grandparents,
where you come from. It's very
important.
It cost a few dollars, but I promise
you, your kids, grandkids, and grandkids
are going to thank you for it. I've done
it so far about 10 to see them.
One of them just passed away. He was 97
or 96 97 98 I forget.
And thank God the family commissioned me
to do it. We have 8 to 10 hours of oral
history.
What they do with it is their business.
It's theirs. It's not mine. Doesn't go
online.
So pass on the message to people who are
70 plus
really
I can't tell you how many people who I
know who have such memories and such
stories and no one knows finished
anyway

>> only good things for
including finding a nice wife, a good
wife.
>> Amen. Anyway,
so

substantial people learned people see
them
this is in mountain lodge 150 people I
come like here lot of tables food
menal greenbound who was a soldier next
soldier
is making kdish on a glass of scotch or
vodka. I forget
whatever.
He downs the cup like it's like it's
water. I'm telling you. I'm sitting
right next to him,
you know.
And then
he stands up. And I'm going to
illustrate what he does.
He has his cup here.
Here goes.
Adonu,
Moreno, Rabenu, Melik, Hamosiach, Leol.
He does it three times. There wasn't a
pin drop in that room. And I promise you
there were very big anti-bas in there.
Big ones. I know them.
No one said a word. Now do you think
they were scared of him? No.
When Mendel Greenb who the Eba called
Mendel de Sat cuz he was a soldier that
gave him that name. Men de Sat.
when he raised that cup and he said to
you know what he was saying
I love you
I'm not forgetting you I miss you
and everyone in that room saw that he's
talking from the heart because men
greenbound didn't know the intricacies
of and
not and how
I promise you he was not at that level
or interested in those things. He knew
one thing. It's a glass of scotch. IT'S
A KID SHABAS AND HE LOVES the
and he wants to remember that. So he
screams out from his heart
what he screams out
once in Los Angeles.
One of my Friday night the are singing
is very far from where is
and he lets them sing as a dancing and
then he stops. He says stop
and he says if you don't sing ye with
kavana you're not allowed to sing it.
If you're singing it, you better mean
it.
And if you don't mean it, be quiet.
I promise you that if we
were to express our feelings, one person
with Y, one person without Y, but the is
here, the
sincerity, I love you, Reb, I miss you,
Reb, I want to do for you. we wouldn't
have any issues, differences
and and foolishness, stupidity. Okay,
convinced cuz I saw it in the room. I
saw it with my own eyes in the room.
They didn't throw eggs at him. They
didn't throw water on him. They didn't
throw wine in him. THEY DIDN'T TELL HIM,
"SHUT UP. SIT DOWN."
NOTHING. Naga
because he meant it. If you mean
something, if you're really genuine,
it's the forever
for
that's all. That was the last story I
want to tell you that that let's not get
caught up and hung up on on, you know,
it's not just about not it's about all
kinds of things.
Stop. Stop. Do
don't just learn sidus leis
give away your bed for no give away your
gosh you sleep on the floor my
mother-in-l
herself on the floor right next to the
couch so my grandmother who had dementia
if she would fall off she would fall off
onto my mother not on the floor are you
ready to do that
are we ready to do that I'm not
I'm not ready. Are you ready
to sleep on the floor next to your
mother? So if she falls off the couch,
she falls on you, not on the floor.
You understand? When you think about
these things, at least when I think
about these things, I see how infant,
how how little I am. Mish little mish
little.
Everything we do is like, come on.
We should go with and strength and
and
with the ghoulish because if the is is
is waiting
I'm sorry to say
there's nothing to wait for. There's
nothing to wait for. We've waited enough
that we need to continue. And the Reb
didn't get morbid. Even when the Reba
said to have and everything else, you
think the Reb was depressed,
he went on with more strength and more
strength. And then even after the
stroke, the Reb continued coming out.
Everyone see sees these things that was
there. No such thing. There's no room
for melancholy
when you come here and see 150 people in
the room on a Monday night and tomorrow
there's work and today it's snowing and
it's the middle of the week and
wow
the dare is looking DOWN HE'S SAYING I
have

they're points 11 12 night whatever the
