We've already talked to people and it's completely safe, ... And with the exception of a few odds and ends, we're almost done.

We've turned a corner the last two weeks, and we almost did it three weeks ago. But you know what? That doesn't mean anything. There's another opportunity this week. There's another challenge this week, and it's a very big one.

While he was playing during the summer, Dave landed on his shoulder and hurt his shoulder. He wasn't able to play at all for three months, so this year has almost been a waste for him. But he does everything we ask of him and he plays hard. He just needs to get a little stronger.

It was quite a difficult mission almost from start to finish.
