Hi, thank you so much for being out here today. Onthis beautiful saturday. My name is emily, im a manager at politics and prose and on behalf of the staff, welcome.

And i think given the fact weve got mike martin over here, thats another example of how its a nice place to be. But no, truly, thank you all for the hard work thats been done, and im going to quote jack yet when he called to see if i had any further questions.
