Subject: all right...
Time to stand down, I think. Everything on the critical list is done, and Joel, when I just talked to him, is of the opinion that we've actually put ourselves in a position of being ahead, project-wise, which he deems "pretty damned remarkable". So I want you two to finish whatever you're working on right now, and then leave the office. Juliette's going to do the exact same thing - she will be back on Monday to answer phones, etc, but I don't want either of you setting foot near the boathouse until Tuesday.
I don't know how to thank either of you. This was above and beyond. I'm very proud of both of you, and honored to be working with you. And clearly, getting a little mushy here, so finish whatever you're working on and get moving. Fresh air is a beautiful thing.
