Couldn’t have picked a nicer person. We’ve had our problems (as I’m sure everyone remembers) but she apologized profusely and I graciously accepted. Now let’s put that behind us. Congratulations!!! ETA: when I said we put this behind us, I was serious. I _will not discuss_ ancient history. Deleted 3 PMs so far. _Please._ ---
