29:03 I'm very quiet in real life, I don't have friends and I'm happy with that. Years ago I crossed paths with a famous actor, I was building a stone wall opposite his house, long story short he ended up coming over to me and talking to the back of my head, I never turned around because I was building a wall, but I knew it was him because his voice was the same as in the movies I had seen as a child. He probably found me very rude, yet as he walked away he called out, 'My wife has made you a coffee and it's on the patio table' To cut a long story short I went over there and had the coffee, the reason I went is because I knew he had garden furniture stolen from his garden a couple of weeks before, and some of the furniture was solid concrete figures covered in led, and because the stones I was building the wall with were extremely large and heavy, in his mind I must of looked like a prime suspect. This came to light a few years later when his wife admitted that's why he came over to me that day. Anyway we ended up becoming friends, and though he was an Atheist, the thought of dying and life being no more kind of bothered him. I told him something that I had worked out when I was five years old, it was something that had bothered me too when I was old enough to think, it was simply, 'before you're born you are dead, and I've never met anybody yet who can say that death was a bad experience before they were born'. Nobody knows what happens when we die, but it's pretty impossible for something to turn into nothing, though that wouldn't be such a bad thing if it was true, every time I walk daily in the woods I feel that kind of nothingness, and it's a really comforting feeling. Especially when all of the nature comes alive around me, and I don't just mean the birds and the bees, but the wind, sun, rain and temperature kind of all comes together and guides me, I don't really feel like I'm walking, it's more like loitering. Loitering without intent. Sorry for the long post, I just thought I would mention this as your talk today caused me to remember the wall I built! 🕊

You have good bone structure, particularly your clavicles. If you started working out, body weight exercises or weights, you would be a monster.
