Good evening. Good evening. Good evening. Good evening, thank you. Thank you, good evening. So, thank you. Good evening.

Wow. You’ve all been with me for the last couple years, and it’s been a little chaotic. But we know that in chaos lies opportunity. And tonight, with this win, comes opportunity.
