There's lots of other problems I could have chucked in there. voice-verified

The other three things I asked Stanford. voice-verified

It's been hard. voice-verified

It's been really hard because not only are you cleaning up a hell of a mess and trying to fix basics that were broken, you're dealing with some global shocks. voice-verified

It's hard to maintain that financial discipline, you know, voice-verified

that's necessary because we are setting the joint up for our kids and our grandkids. voice-verified
