And I'm trying to keep my eyes and my mind focused on what are the most central key issues to this.

And when we do that, I feel like we're really honoring the spirit of people who I consider to be really great teachers, like Steve DeShazer, who said, problem talk generates problems.

And then you've got the exception question, which is when has this already happened? Even a little bit.
