journals your whole life. when was your first journal entry? >> when i was 8 years old. i -- my father was in the army and was stationed in italy, and he had to do a training exercise gave me the assignment of keeping a journal. so i did and it was a pretty impressionable trip and i got a really good grade on the journal that i kept. and i just kept keeping journals from there. >> seth: it's impressive because that was a thing -- there were so many points in my life where i said, "i'm going to start keeping a journal." and when i look back, all those journals have one and a half entries and then just tons of blank pages. and so -- but there's really no real major gap in your life when you weren't doing this. >> no, i mean i definitely lost a couple journals along the way but from when i was, like, 16 until now, you know, like, i have all those journals just in boxes sitting around that i've had to haul around with me everywhere i've moved. >> seth: as you -- so was this nice, like, getting your journals on pap

"since bike riding and trails and parks are such a fundamental component of our community, we thought it was great to donate bikes to the boys and girls club and to kids to hopefully start them off on a lifelong learned adventure with bikes."

that if print journalism or any kind of journalism, if you did this to or for donald trump, would you be able to get your standards back up, down the road, for somebody else? and that maybe you should have just left all the standards where they were. and so, yeah, i think that there various of us, and kinds of people have a lot to be l-gazing about, nave over the last month. not that i have seen my navel in a long time.
