Fucking unbelievable. Surrounded on all sides. Carnival launched a hostile for Princess. Ducked a bullet and settled with govt on Superior bank. Pulled a major rabbit out of the hat and raised $100mm for Reliant in 3 days in a potentially very cool deal (that will be announced tomorrow) and family matter coming to a head and I can't get out fast enough. I may actually pull all of this off before year end.

This is a very speedy environment that I am in.

Where is Lydia when I need her?

Back to you when I see daylight.
