Happy Friday, everyone.

What a week.

And you guys and gals were great. Awesome feedback and interaction all week, but especially with all the breaking news in the back half.

No kidding, we got close to 20 mailbag questions this week, so we are going to try to have more questions (some of them overlapped of course, and we will condense and paraphrase when needed) and shorter answers. (Shut up, Spy.)

Let’s handle our business first.
