All right, so I just want to capture this thought. I don't know how novel it is, but I think it's an aha for me. Most of my life I've been in male dominated industries and environments. My exposure to women has been tainted. Probably a lot of my memories were. Well, I had, I had great memories with drill team and certain things in high school, but yet other things were. I don't know, I was a rough and tough horseback rider that liked sports from a young age. And those that would do those things I appreciated and, and respected. But the ones that weren't so much into some of that stuff, I may or may not. I mean, I have some dear friends that I loved being friends with that didn't do sports too, but something happened. I just, I didn't. Well. And I always like men, so I like being around men more and which is kind of crazy given some of the situations I was in. But I am bringing this all up because I just was watching a special about the new soccer sports commissioner and how she's trying to reposition women's soccer. And I feel compelled to support women. And more and more lately, the last couple years, I've been feeling that way and I don't know what took so long. I've always supported other people. Never really was partial to men or women really. But I guess more and more I am now. Maybe because I'm getting older, I don't know. But I'm. I'm wanting to help women more and more. And I love the fact that this is a great way for women to have an identity. It's not like football, football in the U.S. but it's the real football. And I think that there's a lot to it. And it's about time we start supporting each other more and especially in women's sports. I. I think so anyway. I don't understand how my mind is evolving entirely, but I thought I'd spit it out while I'm realizing it. And I want to go ahead and try to start getting some women to go to the soccer games here and supporting them locally and maybe more. But anyway, that's, that's all July, it's the 30th now, one in the morning. Bye.
