Yeah, anytime you get close to one of those worries happening, it's a scary thing. You know, we all have our foibles, and as I said, we're all survivors of something.

And now when I work with executives, we're debriefing about a quarter. I'm like, the thing I'm really looking forward to, what do we learn from the last 90 days? How is that going to change our approach for the next 90 days or the next year? And how are we going to build from here? I don't want to spend too much time worrying about the past.
