You showed up here yesterday, and we missed. So I'm glad you don't live too far away. I felt bad about that. So thanks for being understanding. I got a little screwed up. Got too many balls in the air. Yeah, no, no worries. I was, luckily I was close. I got to meet your wife, which is cool.

And she was like, ah, he's not here today.

And I was like, well, he your wife which is cool and she was like I think he's not here today
