G’day!

Coming to you from Las Vegas still. I’m on an extended holiday. I guess penance for missing Monday’s news is Wednesday’s news. Make it a great day folks, never know what tomorrow brings.

Oh! I nearly forgot to mention that Dave is going to be an Official Olympic Torch Bearer. Congrats! And don’t wear the Crocs. Man, I should’ve tossed them when I had the chance.

Signed,

The Intern
