Well, hi guys, it's Tom. Just a quick, quick little vlog this morning to follow up on recent stories about Time magazine and the local newspaper. This morning, Friday, the 22nd of December, here's the Stamford Advocate, and there You see my mug on the front page of the paper with a very large photo of me sitting at my kitchen table, which the photographer, of course, posed. So a lengthy article. Of course, they got the name of my company wrong. Why would they? Why would they get it right? I mean, I just spelled it for him. T-R-U-E-T-A-L-K, capital T, capital T. I gave him a card, True Talk. See, let me show you. Here's our card. Gave him one of our cards. See, it says on there, Chief Idea Officer, my title. That's what he said. After all that, he called us U-Talk. Anyway, um, what are you gonna do? So I wanted to close the loop on that, um, because we're running out of here shortly. We're going into the city tonight. Um, all right, here's a little something. Tonight we're going to see one of my favorite operas. We have, uh, along with my partner Peggy and, and Paul, uh, uh, her guy, we go to the opera about 6 times a year or so to the Met. And tonight we're seeing one of my favorites, one of Giuseppe Verdi's real classics, Rigoletto. If you don't know the story of Rigoletto, it's a great story. It's a story of a sort of a grotesque clown courtier to the Duke of Mantua. Who has a daughter that nobody knows about, gets embroiled, of course, in one of these classic operatic situations where people hate him because he's a nasty person, Rigoletto. He's always, always, as a court jester, he's always trying to make people look bad, you know. So, of course, they kidnap his daughter, and "The Duke Seduces Her" and "La Donne Mobile" and, you know, other things in there are fantastic. So off tonight to Rigoletto, but I wanted to give you the news straight hot off the presses, Stanford Advocate article, and I'll put the link over there to the article. Take it easy, have a great weekend. If I don't talk to you beforehand, I'll sure talk to you before Christmas though.
Bye-bye.
