I just wanted to tell you that I just saw the cover on my end.
It was great.
Have you seen it?
Just great.
Everybody raved about the television and so forth.
I just told the signal door to check to see what they had shown up there.
I just want you to know that my cover is great.
No, no, no, I'm here.
I'm going to be seeing the ambassador, Jeremy Rush, come for a little bit.
The brand, we have an intercom on it to represent the ambassador and see if he likes it.
Our front is over here, but that's fine.

Well, we probably will, but we have prayer in San Diego.
All right, then.
Do have fun.
