00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,033
IF YOU HIKE IT LIGHTER, YOU CAN

192
00:07:13,033 --> 00:07:13,700
ADD LESS.

193
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:16,700
I HAVE ABOUT ENOUGH LAVENDER

194
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:17,000
THERE.

195
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,300
WE CAN BRING IT TO ONE BOIL BACK

196
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:20,700
IN THE KITCHEN AND LET IT STEEP

197
00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:22,133
FOR 15 OR 20 MINUTES.

198
00:07:22,133 --> 00:07:24,166
YOU CAN START TO GET THAT CITRUS

199
00:07:24,166 --> 00:07:26,533
AND THE LAVENDER AROMA.

200
00:07:26,533 --> 00:07:26,966
>> MM-HMM.

201
00:07:26,966 --> 00:07:30,066
>> AND SO WE'LL LET THAT STEEP

202
00:07:30,066 --> 00:07:35,133
AND COME BACK AND FINISH THE

203
00:07:35,133 --> 00:07:35,500
LEMONADE.

204
00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:38,466
JUST TO SPEED IT UP, I PUT IT IN

205
00:07:38,466 --> 00:07:39,233
AN ICE BATH.

206
00:07:39,233 --> 00:07:41,333
SO NOW WE HAVE OUR NICE SYRUP

207
00:07:41,333 --> 00:07:42,633
AND I WILL LEAVE EVERYTHING IN

208
00:07:42,633 --> 00:07:43,333
THERE FOR TODAY.

209
00:07:43,333 --> 00:07:44,666
IF YOU WANTED TO BE FANCY AND

210
00:07:44,666 --> 00:07:46,766
TAKE THE TIME, YOU COULD STRAIN

211
00:07:46,766 --> 00:07:48,400
THAT OUT, BUT I KIND OF LIKE THE

212
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,266
WAY THIS LOOKS IN THERE.

213
00:07:52,266 --> 00:07:52,666
>> YES.

214
00:07:52,666 --> 00:07:56,233
>> WE WILL ADD 2 CUPS OF LEMON

215
00:07:56,233 --> 00:07:58,100
JUICE.

216
00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:01,133
AND THEN WE'LL ADD WATER TO

217
00:08:01,133 --> 00:08:01,433
TASTE.

218
00:08:01,433 --> 00:08:03,600
AND WE ARE JUST GOING TO STIR

219
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,100
THIS IN.

220
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:06,133
GARNISH OR GLASSES WITH A LITTLE

221
00:08:06,133 --> 00:08:10,266
BIT OF LEMON.

222
00:08:10,266 --> 00:08:12,900
IF WE WANTED TO, WE COULD PUT A

223
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:15,500
NICE PIECE OF LAVENDER IN EACH

224
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:15,766
ONE.

225
00:08:15,766 --> 00:08:16,933
AND VERY IMPORTANT, WE WILL GIVE

226
00:08:16,933 --> 00:08:17,666
IT A TASTE.

227
00:08:17,666 --> 00:08:18,900
I THINK YOU WILL REALLY LIKE

228
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:19,200

MORE OF AN ADULT BEVERAGE, YOU

231
00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:23,933
COULD ADD A LITTLE BIT OF

232
00:08:23,933 --> 00:08:25,566
INDIANA VODKA OR YOUR FAVORITE

233
00:08:25,566 --> 00:08:26,300

PEOPLE THAT KNOW HOW TO DO IT

THEY KNOW HOW THINGS ARE BUILT

323
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,166
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THE SCIENCE

324
00:11:19,166 --> 00:11:19,800
BEHIND IT.

325
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,433

THINK SO.

NOT JUST AT OUR SCHOOL.

337

>> WADE AND HIS CREW MADE SOME

338
00:11:39,333 --> 00:11:41,166
MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PARK.

339
00:11:41,166 --> 00:11:43,700
THEY BUILT A SHELTER AND 12

340
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:45,600
PICNIC TABLES ADDED SETS OF

341
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,866

BATTING CAGE.

343
00:11:48,866 --> 00:11:50,500
>> FOR US, IT'S A SENSE OF

344
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:52,366
SERVICE, IT'S A SENSE OF

345
00:11:52,366 --> 00:11:54,066
COMMUNITY, AND IT'S JUST A SENSE

346
00:11:54,066 --> 00:11:56,233
OF FELLOWSHIP.

347
00:11:56,233 --> 00:11:57,600

00:12:01,333 --> 00:12:03,766
PROPER HABITS AND THAT GOES FOR

350
00:12:03,766 --> 00:12:05,833
COACHES AND PLAYERS AND PARENTS

351
00:12:05,833 --> 00:12:06,800
ALIKE.

352

FAMILY, REFAMILY VERY FAMILY ORIENTED.

353
00:12:11,733 --> 00:12:13,200
>> THIS SHIFTED THE CULTURE AT

00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,766
THE GAMES FOR THE BETTER BUT

355
00:12:14,766 --> 00:12:15,966
TRANSFORMED THE FAMILIES AND THE

356
00:12:15,966 --> 00:12:18,066
COMMUNITY AROUND IT.

357
00:12:18,066 --> 00:12:19,666
>> THE BALLPARK HAS BUILT

358
00:12:19,666 --> 00:12:21,933
STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS TOWARDS

359
00:12:21,933 --> 00:12:22,800
THE LITTLE KIDS.

360
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,400
I KNOW THAT THESE LITTLE KIDS,

361
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,033
THEY IS THAT RIGHT OFF IN

362
00:12:27,033 --> 00:12:28,533
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PLAYING BALL

363
00:12:28,533 --> 00:12:31,566
THEY ARE GOING TO MAY PLAY TOGETHER

364
00:12:31,566 --> 00:12:32,200
ALL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL.

365
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,200
SO IT'S THE BOND CREATED JUST

366
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,733
WITH THE USE OF A BALLPARK IS

367
00:12:35,733 --> 00:12:39,366
UNBELIEVABLE.

368
00:12:39,366 --> 00:12:41,033
>> YOU CAN SEE IT IN THEIR FACES

369
00:12:41,033 --> 00:12:43,100
AND I THINK THE -- IT'S ABOUT

370
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:45,866
THE PERSONALITIES, THE CULTURE,

371
00:12:45,866 --> 00:12:47,133
REALLY HAS CHANGED WITH THE PARK

372
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:48,433
IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

373
00:12:48,433 --> 00:12:50,633
I THINK YOU SEE A LOT MORE

374
00:12:50,633 --> 00:12:51,233
FAMILY ENVIRONMENT.

375
00:12:51,233 --> 00:12:52,766
YOU KNOW, YOU SEE THE PARENTS

376
00:12:52,766 --> 00:12:54,233
WALK WITH THE KIDS AND THEN THEY

377
00:12:54,233 --> 00:12:55,700

00:18:31,566 --> 00:18:31,900
RECORD.

566
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:33,566
I COULD BARELY PLAY GUITAR AND I

567
00:18:33,566 --> 00:18:34,766
WAS STRUMMING AND WRITING SONGS.

568
00:18:34,766 --> 00:18:36,133
AND BY THE TIME I MADE THE

569
00:18:36,133 --> 00:18:37,433
SECOND RECORD, I HAD MOVED TO

570
00:18:37,433 --> 00:18:39,733
BROWN COUNTY AND MADE IT IN THAT

571
00:18:39,733 --> 00:18:40,033
AREA.

572
00:18:40,033 --> 00:18:42,433
IT WAS A LITTLE MORE EARTHY, AND

573
00:18:42,433 --> 00:18:45,900
BEGAN TO SOUND MORE LIKE NEAT TO

574
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:46,166
ME.

575
00:18:46,166 --> 00:18:47,966
AND A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, I

576
00:18:47,966 --> 00:18:50,533
MADE MY MOST RECENT REPORT

577
00:18:50,533 --> 00:18:50,900
"SWAGGER."

578
00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:53,033
I PLAY EVERYTHING FROM SOLO

579
00:18:53,033 --> 00:18:53,333
SHOWS.

580
00:18:53,333 --> 00:18:56,200
I LOVE TO DO THAT AND I LOVE THE

581
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,266
INTIMACY IT CREATES WITH THE

582
00:18:59,266 --> 00:18:59,633
AUDIENCE.

583
00:18:59,633 --> 00:19:01,266
AND THEN I DO A DUO.

584
00:19:01,266 --> 00:19:04,966
THAT DUO IS NEARLY ALWAYS MYSELF

585
00:19:04,966 --> 00:19:06,800
AND DEON O'BRIEN.

586
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,866
WHEN IT COMES TO INSPIRATION FOR

587
00:19:08,866 --> 00:19:10,833
SONG WRITING, I THINK THE TRITE

588
00:19:10,833 --> 00:19:12,066
THING TO SAY BUT THE HONEST

589
00:19:12,066 --> 00:19:13,466
THING TO SAY IS IT'S LIFE.

590
00:19:13,466 --> 00:19:15,233
NOT EVERYBODY WRITES SONGS FOR

591
00:19:15,233 --> 00:19:16,400
THE SAME REASON AND FROM THE

592
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,066
SAME MACE.

593
00:19:17,066 --> 00:19:20,933
THE OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUM IS

594
00:19:20,933 --> 00:19:25,800
THE TRUBY TROUBADOUR, I THINK THAT'S

595
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,133
MORE THE TRADITION THAT I COME

596
00:19:27,133 --> 00:19:28,766
FROM, AND THE PLACE THAT I WRITE

597
00:19:28,766 --> 00:19:29,066
FROM.

598
00:19:29,066 --> 00:19:31,266
AND I WOULD SAY THAT ALL THE

599
00:19:31,266 --> 00:19:34,500
SONGS, WHETHER DIRECTLY BEING

600
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:35,733
AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL OR NOT ARE AT

601
00:19:35,733 --> 00:19:39,000
LEAST CONNECTED TO MY LIFE IN

602
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:39,433
SOME WAY.

603
00:19:39,433 --> 00:19:41,066
IT'S WATCHING SOMEONE ELSE'S

604
00:19:41,066 --> 00:19:42,766
LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S STRUGGLE

605
00:19:42,766 --> 00:19:44,266
OR CELEBRATION AND TRYING TO DIG

606
00:19:44,266 --> 00:19:44,566
DEEP.

607
00:19:44,566 --> 00:19:46,800
I TRY TO FILE OFF ALL THE

608
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,033
PARTICULAR EDGES THAT ARE ABOUT

609
00:19:48,033 --> 00:19:50,566
ME IN A WAY THAT THEN I CAN

610
00:19:50,566 --> 00:19:52,466
DISTILL IT DOWN TO A MORE

611
00:19:52,466 --> 00:19:53,466
UNIVERSAL PART OF THE HUMAN

612
00:19:53,466 --> 00:19:53,833
CONDITION.

613
00:19:53,833 --> 00:19:56,400
ONE OF MY GOALS IS TO HAVE THE

614
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,366
LISTENER BE ABLE TO PLOP

615
00:19:59,366 --> 00:20:00,400
THEMSELVES IN THE SONG AND

616
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,000
IMAGINE THAT IT'S ABOUT THEM.

617
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,300
I WRITE ABOUT LIFE, THE GOOD,

618
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:07,100
THE BAD, THE PROUD MOMENTS, THE

619
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:08,133
EMBARRASSING ONES AND I THINK

620
00:20:08,133 --> 00:20:10,566
THAT BRINGING THAT VULNERABILITY

621
00:20:10,566 --> 00:20:12,366
JUST BY EXAMPLE AND YOUR

622
00:20:12,366 --> 00:20:13,266
WILLINGNESS TO BE HONEST ABOUT

623
00:20:13,266 --> 00:20:15,800
IT MAKES PEOPLE FEEL A LITTLE

624
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,900
BETTER ABOUT HAVING THEIR OWN

625
00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:20,933
EXPERIENCE AND ACCEPTING

626
00:20:20,933 --> 00:20:21,333
THEMSELVES.

627
00:20:21,333 --> 00:20:22,500
IT'S LIKE A CALLING.

628
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:23,866
I THINK IN LIFE WHATEVER YOUR

629
00:20:23,866 --> 00:20:25,300
CALLING IS, WHATEVER YOU FIGURE

630
00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:25,733
OUT IT IS.

631
00:20:25,733 --> 00:20:28,633
IF YOU ARE UP TO IT IN I WAY YOU

632
00:20:28,633 --> 00:20:29,366
ARE WINNING.

633
00:20:29,366 --> 00:20:30,766
I DON'T KNOW THAT I COULD FEEL

634
00:20:30,766 --> 00:20:31,933
ANY LEVEL OF CONTENTMENT DOING

635
00:20:31,933 --> 00:20:32,566
ANYTHING ELSE.

636
00:20:32,566 --> 00:20:34,566
IT FEELS WRONG NOT TO BE

637
00:20:34,566 --> 00:20:36,766
PLUGGING MYSELF BACK INTO THAT

638
00:20:36,766 --> 00:20:37,733
EXPERIENCE, AND SHARING THAT

639
00:20:37,733 --> 00:20:39,333
EXPERIENCE WITH PEOPLE.

640
00:20:39,333 --> 00:20:40,966

641
00:20:40,966 --> 00:20:42,933
