…this guy came late, but he did show up. Right, right. Why don't we get started? I just waited for the printer to finish working. Kathleen very kindly Xeroxed off the waves for us. So if you want a sheet with it on it to make notes on why there, I…
…therefore everything is at equilibrium and completion. Om Shanti Om. You got it in a nutshell. There it is in a nutshell. Kathleen, would you lead us in prayer? The afternoon thing is so stultifying that we're going to keep our blood moving. It's going…
