Josh I think we did meet in Dallas. I think you were with MR. Right right? Small world. Much has changed since 2007 with the new leadership and much still needs to change but things are getting better. Know place is perfect, but it is not as bad as some have made it out to be. Think how many people have benefited from it and have been able to get a job because of it.

I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
