Hello, and thank you so much for joining us again. I am the Grey Knight, and today, well, we're going to be doing something a little bit different.

It is not going to be your standard story or two. It is, in fact, not going to be a written story at all.

It's just going to be me talking to you about what happened before we get into the questions.

It's something that I thought maybe you would want to hear on this podcast, instead of an update being typed out on the blog or what have you.

And I am looking forward to it very much, but I do want to ease you into it and say that just because it's not a story in the typical sense, just because it's not something that we're bringing the lights down low on and the cue music into doesn't mean that you won't have a good time.

And we'll put it at that.

Well, if you do read on the blog every once in a while, you'll see that there are the occasional

posters that say something very easy, very light, like, love you from Lisbon,
