My ex-wife used to be on the commission, Lee Booker, a long time ago. I have now gone from tech into teaching, and so I have a very, very busy schedule. I have three things that I'd like to talk about, and then you can help me with them, okay? Number one, I would like to work with whatever resources, because I have something in my house is making some of my doors crooked, and it's really hard to open the doors, so I think I need
