"I'll be creating more conversations, a podcast specific for the Playful Society, and really looking for people's ideas and expectations about what play could be for them in the future. Going off screen, looking at another human being and not being so lonely, that's a big deal. I'm linking the Playful Society website here and I look forward to hearing anybody's thoughts about this. Thanks."

"And in that conversation, I always go to the next happy moment because in the end of the day, for me, it's always relationships that define my place in the world, that help me find meaning and that help me build sort of a reserve of how the world works and who in the world inspires me."

"I wish there was a scratch and sniff. I'll take a photo for you if I could turn around and do it. Yeah, let me do this now. I'll do it while I'm talking because that's the cool thing about swell. You can use the camera while you're talking. So use camera. Gonna do a little pull in there. Whoops. Okay, I think I got it. Yeah. Use photo. And that's a pelican talking."

"And I've always wanted to do a kayaking week where I just kind of hopped in a boat and kayak different places and had a sort of a base camp. But in this situation I was, I got the best of both worlds because I rented a home through Airbnb that was literally on the water, that had two kayaks. But also we were able to go into the Olympic Forest and do some hiking as well. So the trip was both hiking and water and everything in between."

"So do you think you'll go into the specialty of it pretty soon after you get your training and your certification? That's the goal. I think becoming a dive safety officer takes a little bit more time and experience, because usually you're working with, like, universities or, like, major organizations where you're, like, responsible for managing and organizing a group of divers."

"In the case of really being witness to what this egg becomes, you can actually take that leaf off and put it in a container that has a lot of moisture with a bunch of other leaves, leaves of the same kind, and you can watch that egg become a very small caterpillar. And then that caterpillar grows and grows over a week period, maybe 10 days maximum, and it's ready to change. And then when it changes, it hangs on this little thread and becomes a cocoon."

"It's more like something that sort of sparks their personality or a part of them that they're really happy about. So I want to answer this also because there's a question I get a lot about why did I move to LA? I've been here now, gosh, I guess 15 years, and people ask me, why did you move to la? And isn't it crazy? They ask? They always followed up with, isn't it so much traffic? And blah, blah."

"A great journalist died last week, Bill Moyers. And I wanted to just reflect on his life and what he meant to me growing up and what he meant to me as somebody who was so committed to media literacy. In fact, I'm going to share a link to an extraordinary media literacy website run by one of my mentors and heroes in media literacy, Renee Hobbs. But I wanted to specifically share this link because it's all about grandparents of media literacy."

"I am sitting in Baltimore right now waiting for my nephew and his wife to come with their kids, two little girls, my great nieces. And I've been up a lot thinking about the news of the war in Iran and the wars around the world and the funding of lots of terrorist groups around the world that have been a part of our reality ever since I can remember."

"I want you to hear something. Just listen. I'm standing outside and it's just in the middle of a big thunderstorm. But there's a break here in Baltimore, Maryland and you still hear the raindrops dancing on the leaves. But just a minute ago there was a huge clap of thunder which we never hear on the West Coast. It's just so beautiful. It makes me want to go outside and become my 3 year old self and jump in the puddles."
