Well, hi there and thanks for joining us again. This is Thinking Sideways, the podcast

0:25.2

in I.M. Steve, as always, join by Joe, hello, and Devon, who I like to introduce.

Instead of letting us do it for ourselves, I can't always remember my own name, so it's

0:39.2

a good thing. I got to micromanage this stuff, you know what, we need a micromanager.
