Thank you, Bill. Thanks, everybody. But just to say it again, thank you, Bill. We're so glad to have you back. Now, a lot of people have actually gotten in touch to ask, maybe with some concern, where you've been these last six weeks. Can you reveal it?

So you're a musician, but like on nights and weekends you do mortgage loans because that's your true passion. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something's got to pay the bill.

Yeah, you sit there gigging, you know, doing your music, and you're thinking, wow, tonight I get to originate a mortgage.
