Thank you so much for participating.
Just take your time. And yeah —
Jennifer Byrne: I never thought that I'd be like trying to approximate these feelings again for a podcast.

Jennifer Byrne: All right.
'Kim Jong–un wasn't to blame.
It turned out to be an employee error
at the Hawaii Emergency Management Services
that triggered a false North Korean missile alarm sent to those in the state,
including my husband.
He and his colleagues at the medical conference stopped discussing ocular herpes and took shelter.
For 38 minutes, they faced their own imminent deaths.
I wonder who he called or texted during that time.
It wasn't me.
