All how did you decide -- -- a reluctance.

I like to call the I'd like to consider it a you know an active you know great investigative reporting the truth of the matter is that my dog -- -- had a fourteen year old lab.

Was my first dog.

-- died last year in February and my good friend my old friend and former -- colleague Dave Kaplan.

Who happens to be the director of you know he's museum.

He and his wife took my wife and I out to dinner.

And -- -- you know I knew Joseph do you have taken -- fall that the previous year and it's slow down somewhat.

-- -- -- is Carmen his wife go down with them to make sure it's OK and -- after recent well you know kind of an interesting story the nobody's really done Enron did Ricoh looks after him down there.

So.

I thought might be an interesting story and a the next -- went up to the museum -- to talk to your view about it and I -- noted these figures are good done.

And that was about the extent of the interview now target down to Florida and I grabbed degree aside and asked him about because I don't know that's really private and it's my -- -- my relationship with Jodie.

And I have to mention well you know priority interviewed -- -- about it you know -- Basically -- one sense -- -- -- -- -- recent volatility is talking about it that's fine with me you know -- not have to run from -- the story -- up on a one of the times.

And not materially with a book is -- one time front page of August.
