Obviously, the sooner the better. But if it means we have to wait to get Pavel in our lineup I'll wait.

I am here again, in a familiar place feeling something I've felt before, wondering why it's still here, why I didn't deal with it more fully before.

This is growth. And, I am happy to be alive.

It's all fun.
