16. Relax. I'm happy about it. Sounds like a good decision.

Just making a little joke because it preceded the decisions coming out about Trump's financial documents, so it's kind of like an opening act at a concert.

Which reminds me of the time back in 2008 where my wife, who as a child of the 80s was a huge New Kids on the Block fan, went to a reunion concert for that group.

When she got back, she told me all about the New Kids, but only in passing did she mention the opening act, who she said was some weird, obscure singer with a babyish sounding name.

That weird obscure singer turned out to be....Lady Gaga. Right before she absolutely blew up.

So opening acts can be great, is what I'm say.
