And my last example and the last one you guys probably have seen. I hate to do it to him. He is such a nice guy. When I first met Bryon Russell, John and Karl, I remember it was in Chicago in 1994, I was working out for baseball and they all came down for workout and shooting around. I came over and say "Hello", and at this time I had no thoughts of coming back and...
Will you all start to my parents? You guys see all the I-likes. What is about me that you guys don't know?
