We're going to try to cover a bunch of stuff today, and we'll see how far we get.

But I wanted us to, first of all, be, express my gratitude and thankfulness early that we got home last week.

1:06.0

What a crazy week it was. It's Friday night tonight and it's late, so I'm kind of getting this podcast out either late tonight or early tomorrow morning.
