Drew, did you sign up for the Fran Challenge yet?
When will I see your face this week?
Definitely in for the Fran Challenge. Is there a master’s division?
Sure Dyer, and you can enter it, just as soon as you turn 45 in 10 years.
I will be there tonight. Nope, I am waiting for the debit card, since someone doesn’t take AMEX (ahem)
anyone coming in for the 7pm tonight?
