Well, how are you?
Fine.
How are you?
Which, where, where, where'd I find you?
Uh, you know, you got moved?
Yeah, what did it matter?
What was the most horrible experience?
Uh, we've been through it a few times, and I know that Jeff said it, and, uh, he's done the talking, and I knew over a thousand times that Jeff mentioned we were close to making it through, so...
I heard all about that place.
What I just told them, congratulations, you are getting the award at the University of Texas Council.
The only other one that got it was the Lady Bird Council.
So, yeah.
Well, I, I, my intent is we should have done the first one together, but that's, that's, that's, no, no, we've got some here, but I'm glad.
Is that going to be today or tomorrow?
Tomorrow.
Right.
