Well, joining us now is Gerald Slinty, and it's been a couple of weeks since we've been able to talk to Gerald.

I'll actually a little bit longer than that because we usually do it every other week, but it's been longer now just before Christmas.

And everybody has been dying to hear what Gerald sees coming in terms of trends for

trends if we look at it. So we're going to talk about a lot of different things. And talk about
