I don't think of Len as someone from the dark side. I think of him as a
flake.

Hey, I'm with you. The last geode my son and I split open had this
beautiful silver crystal flake inside. Just magnificent! Alas, it
has been a few years and the flake is now tarnished, but still
magnificent. With a 20X loupe, you could get lost just looking at it.

Len's geode split open decades back and he's been sitting around a long
time. You can imagine how tarnished he is.

Speaking of getting lost, how have you been?

I've been fine. Then again, I'm not lost.
