I'm having dinner with Zac, Red and Jerome tonight which made me think of checking in on your site. It's truly amazing the things you're getting to see and do. And you're certainly not missing out on a single thing back in the financial world in NYC. Looking forward to hearing all about it in person when you get back. Scott
