Hey, it's Garnt Strong, you get a show. Welcome. Hope you're doing good. Happy Halloween.

Those of you who will be celebrating on one level or another, whether it's Trotting

and house members and all sorts of good stuff. He's also spent some quality time in Sea

Island, Georgia for the G8 summit and Sea Island, Georgia's gorgeous. Hello, Barry, how

are you? I'm doing great about you. Good. I'd like to be playing golf in Sea Island right

now. Would you like to convene at the airport and head out? This is my perfect trick to treat.
