Kotter to the Yard, it’s been since June when I started the first steps (when Saturday’s were Just Enough).  My EHs were getting stronger in Bling and Inhailer.  And good to return with Brass Monkey, Boring, Fireball, and Hookup.  Good to see the new faces for me in DB, QB, and Neutron (who reminded me on how it began, and how quickly you can acclimate).  F3 has given me more than ever expected, coming back to the Yard reminded me what I began and where I have gone.  Looking forward to returning again.  Thanks again for letting me lead you today!
