And it’s the kind of thing that spreads. I’m so incredibly impressed with her that I can’t think of anything profound to say. Except that it should...We’re a...

But I know it will go down well with her friends if she can say she’s seen it, because they know she’s married to a guy who does stuff they never heard of. They will shake their heads,.
