All right, with me again, Becky DeGroff, Melissa Cine, Becky and I have been through many

legal adventures. Some of them were a lot of elbows being thrown around, Becky and I,

down there on the paint, pick a role, trying to defend ourselves from craziness. Other times,

it's just we're shooting three pointers, everything's going in. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win,

but you always want to have a great legal coach on your team, and that's Becky for me. Am I
