Maryland, and we created the most beautiful garden. And i was out there every single day in the spring and summer. And just to give you a sense of how beautiful it was, our daughter was married in that garden on june 16th in 1992. It turned out to be the hottest june day [laughter] in 75 years, and theres one photograph that was so wonderful of all the mens jackets on the fence. [laughter] so it was just great. But, yes, i love gardening. But living now in a condo, my gardening is restricted to my balcony. So just a few potted plants. Thank you. We have time for just one more question, diane. So hi. Hi. He had a feeling, i dont know how he had that feeling, but he was right. So i want to preface this by saying that you are looking fabulous for 79. [laughter] [applause] thank you, thank you.

Host hello. Its a pleasure to be here today to talk about your new book the health gap. Youve written extensively around the social determinants of health for a long time, and i wanted to start by reading a quick quote from the end of the book but i think it gets us off to a good place.
