But hear me now, my new friend: I wouldn’t trade my life for any other, and I am quite sure you wouldn’t, either. Yes, we all have difficult moments, from the walruses to the polar bears, from the whales to the penguins. Yes, some things are challenging out here. I sense that today has been difficult, but lo!
