That is very true thank you for that reminder - we have talked about how things may not be ready to come out yet and that's okay.

A lot of what I have written out is just about the general me - I want to stop chatting during the first part of the session and just get to work. I figure with all of the random unknowns out there, there will be less chitchat. I'm hoping anyway.
