I write mostly comic novels. We have written seven or eight of those. This book is a memoir probably the only memoir i will never write. I dont have that much to say. May be going out on thin i. C. E. I dont think i will write another book than this one in part because it is so singular in nature. About two Extraordinary People who provided me with some amazing material for a book. Host what was it like to write the book . I sat down shortly after i buried my father last year i woke up in the morning with no intention of writing a book and started writing a book and i wrote a in 40 days. Was accidental there was no biblical collusion but when i looked at the calendar i saw 40 days had lapsed. I work hard to on my writing. It wrote a lot of it itself but we pretty much poured out. Host were you surprised at what poured out . Yes. I think the first sentence read Something Like im not sure how this book is going to turn out. I was indeed surprised at how it turned out. Host thats exactly

My childrens godfather is a former special forces group and he had a line he got from a commander somewhere in his career that said there are some peoplpeople just need killing. Some you will not be able to reason with or negotiate with and there is just evil in the world and that is kind of the approach he takes. He doesnt necessarily like it when he knows it needs to be done he went out and he does it. He runs through the bucs as a combination of multiple people that ive known in the world of government, diplomacy, part of government. Hhes actually named after somebody right here in dc who processes fisa warrants for the prophetic justice. So there is one over at doj, real life, and i hope it is a great name for a character. He is a collection of these people and then what i tell folks is that hes my alter ego. He gets to go and do the things my wife wont let me do. She let me go to afghanistan but she drew the line of chasing female operatives. So there is a line i cant cross. Host

Gina, can you hear us . Here, you guys can just look at her indiscernible . This is shawn with sfgovtv. You can upmute her in the attendees list. I did that. So i want to have daniel finish your comment. Sure. So the question was if there are operatable windows and the answer is that there are. You know, typically in, you know, in each bedroom would have a couple fixed windows and then maybe one portion of it that is a window that you can open to get some fresh air. But the the key is that all of the units are mechanically ventilated with ducted and, you know, lugerred systems. So if there is a resident that is annoyed about the noise from the nightclub because you have the windows open, they can close the windows and their space would still be adequately ventilated. So the fresh air is not contingent upon the windows being open. President bleiman so ive got a question then.
