How do we feel about the check? I could help a little.

I can't help at all.

Pass on interrupts. I can help.
BSG (Helo? Helo?!)
I'm not sure how connected I'll be for the next few days. I have to go to Chicago for a funeral.
(on the off chance, please don't mention it on Facebook. My sister is actually paying my fare as a surprise for Mom)
BSG (Admiral Hoshi)
Well. The President hasn't responded, but he has a near full hand of cards, and draws both the colors. We are a hungry bunch. I say, let's go for the skill check. Option 1 please.
