Hello and welcome back to Close Reads here on the Close Reeds Podcast Network.

I'm David Kern and I am joined by everyone.

I'm joined by Angelina Sanford and Heidi White and Tim McIntosh.

We are all here together to do a, well, a year end, yearning, summarizing, previewing, you know, that kind of show.

So, Angelina, Heidi, Tim, welcome back to the show. How's it going?

Great.

Hey, good.

Tim, do you also want to say, you?

I just didn't want it to make it a traffic jam of greetings. I'm doing wonderful.

Well, I was going to say, we'll see how this goes. You know, you get, Graham was going to be here, as I said, but as I said, before we hit record, but he couldn't make it. So that makes it a little bit easier because you guys know how much Graham likes to hog Mike. But I figured we'll have to see.

It'll test my real ability to actually manage people, right?

Tim, are you back in Seattle?

You're still in Georgia?

I'm back in Seattle.

I got back.

We're living in pretend Seattle right now here in North Carolina with the weather.

Yeah. Atlanta was like that when I was home.

I was so ready for some sunshine and it was just, it rained the whole time.

So I got my money back.

You brought it with you.

Yeah, I probably did it.

But you didn't take it back.
