BERNARD: Welcome back to K-Bear radio. You're listening to Chris in the Morning. Chris in the Late Afternoon actually. And this isn't Chris Stevens. It's Bernard Stevens, sitting in for my brother, Chris. Chill, Cicely. For the names may change, the tune remains the same. And by the way, my brother Chris would like to thank all of you who've called in to express your support. We're all hoping for a speedy recovery from whatever it is that's been afflicting him of late. In the meantime, a big hello to all of you out there from all of me in here. As you may know, I spent the last three months in Africa, a wondrous, magical place. But as shadows lengthen across the K-Bear window, thoughts turn to homecoming, journey's end. Because, in a sense, it's the coming back— the return— which gives meaning to the going forth. We— We really don't know where we've been... until we've come back to where we were. Only where we were may not be as it was because of who we've become. Which, after all, is why we left. Do you have anything to add, Chris?
