On our way.

The family is going on a road trip tomorrow to Missouri to see G-Daddy, Gigi, Uncle Lane and all of the other Happy Hollow Posse. Should make for a fun New Years. Anyway, I'm probably not going to post for a few days so I thought I might want to give you your cutie pie fix for the week. And here it is, another picture of the big guy! Hurrah!

Sign Language

highchair, originally uploaded by gregring.

We've been signing to Turner for the past couple of months now. On Saturday he took me by complete surprise when he signed milk to me.

"Are you asking me for what I think your asking me for?" I said. Luckily I was warming his bottle. So I went into the kitchen grabbed the bottle and showed him what he was asking for. "Milk?" I held the bottle up as I was signing. He signed back to me again. I was so excited that I put the bottle down and picked him while praising him. "Good boy! You are so smart!" I said happily. Turner replied with a loud whine as he focused on the bottle sitting on the coffee table. "Oh yeah...You want milk"

Before Bed...

Before Turner goes to bed he usually sits and watches one of his many Baby Einstien DVDs. Here he is in his PJ's with his Mother.

All I want for Christmas is my four top teeth.

Turner Santa, originally uploaded by gregring.

This is my son. Turner. He might disown me when he's older after he's sees all the silly costums me and Ashley have put him in. But what can I say? I get the giggles easily.

His top teeth are finally coming in. He's the been the drool king as of late because of it. He's also started to eat those little veggie puffs that pretty much melt in your mouth. But it's been good "hand to mouth" practice. He's pimp.

Ashley's Birthday

birthday picture, originally uploaded by gregring.

Ashley's 30th Birthday was on Wenesday and to celebrate we had dinner at the Samba Room with Whiney and Derrin as well as Ashley's sister Lauren. Thanks Jen for Babysitting! We both had the Skirt Steak (which made wonderful steak & eggs the next day!).

For a week before Ashley's Birthday we got a steady stream of packages everyday. She's a popular girl. Thanks to everybody who sent a card, or a present, or simply called with a birthday message! I know it made Ashley's 30th birthday a special one.

Turner Ring is cool.

Miller's in for Thanksgiving

millerfamily, originally uploaded by gregring.

Ashley's family came in town for Thanksgiving and here's the pictures to prove it. Since our house is small and our son is young (and goes to bed early) we had to brave the 55 degree weather and take the cranberry mojitos and Trivial Pursuit outside. We found that the two make for a noisy combination. In case you were wondering, team "Stealth" beat "The Pumpkinheads". And let's just say that I ain't no Pumpkinhead.

Scary Scary

scaryscary, originally uploaded by gregring.

As a graphic artist I understand that the ultimate goal of most print ads is to make a person look at it. Sounds simple enough but to find just the right image/headline/typeface/direction/etc/etc/etc... can be difficult at times.

I.E. this ad/ads for the Christmas Carol. I've never seen a more scary ad in my life. Not only is that a horrible image (draw the devil horns on either picture. You'll see what I mean.) The fact that they put the same ad side by side (that's wheels off) makes this cute little boy look like those twins in Children of the Corn.

I'm burning this newspaper right now for fear of this kid coming to life in the middle of the night and me waking up with those eyes beaming back at me. UUAAAHHHJJJJYYUU.......just got the willies....

Oh yea.

After we get up

onfloor, originally uploaded by gregring.

After The big guy wakes up, we usually either play in his room for an hour or so or we go out in the living room and throw down a blanket on the floor. Turner is getting really good at rolling around and getting the things he wants. Sometimes he settles on his hands and knees and gets a little frustrated. Especially if he can't reach his "Water, Water Everywhere" book. (pictured in the background).

Learn Around Playground

Turner got a new toy as a gift from G-Daddy and Gigi. (It is for Christmas but when your trying to entertain a 7 month old, there's no such thing as waiting till Christmas morning... ) A Learnaround Playground! It's got GREAT songs on it like:

"Fuzzy.....Fuzzy,Fuzzy..."

The Machine

Turner's a machine. Eating and pooping. I could post a picture of the latter but...maybe next time. He really loves to eat. Squash (acorn and butternut), applesauce, cereal, peas, green beans and sweet potato. I'm sure the foods he eats doesn't really interest you. THe real reason I wrote that whole thing just so I could write "butternut" ha ha ha...

...butternut....

How's the weather?

instroller, originally uploaded by gregring.

When you're a 7 month old, taking walks becomes a big part of your day. The weather has been so nice the last couple days that Turner's really diggin' it. The perfect football weather.

A Cowboy's bye week is a good time to have a birthday party. Happy Birthday Lila!

Happy Halloween

Doesn't Turner look excited! Sorry buddy. Of course, I would feel bad, but you look so cute!

Anyway, here is a Halloween picture, a picture of Turner in his new Jumpy-jumpy-jumpy-thing and a picture of him sitting up (which he has now mastered).

Did you know that you can click the pictures and it will take you to my Flickr account? That has ALL of the pictures on this blog (and some rejects) in one place. and you don't have to read any boring crap like this!

Ahhh, the leaves changing colors, there's a chill in the air and chili in the crockpot. You know what that means? More pictures of course! There's a church down the street from out house that sells pumpkins before holloween and Ashley and I thought it would be a good opportunity to get a few snapshots of the big guy. We put him in his pimp orange vest (a la Back to the Future) and snapped away! Enjoy!

As gay as two brothers can be

When you ask me and my brither Chris to strike a pose, damn do we strike a pose. It's my 30th birthday on monday and my wife had a surprise bowling party for me. Anyone who was anyone was there - including my brother and his wife Michele, Mason, Payce, Lauren, Whitney and Derrin, Shannon, Kristen and Brian, Mark and Christine (thanks for the bottle) Bono, Dirk Nowistki, Emmitt Smith and Jessica Alba (for good measure....)

My actual Birthday is the 24th so send those gift certificates (or cash) before monday!

"I'm smiling because I love to eat!"

kittyhat, originally uploaded by gregring.

Hey ya'll. I'm doing better about putting pictures up here. It's the descriptions and the writing that's now killing me. I know I could talk about Turner. How he's eating cereal, green beans, peas, bananas, and apple sauce now (Not in one sitting. That's be crazy.) But I feel like people probably don't even read this stuff. They just look at the pictures and say "awe...ain't he cute?"

Turner loves to eat. He's huge.

My birthday is coming up. Sosend all your iTunes gift certificates to greg@gregring.com. Thanks guys! That's very thoughtful of you!

Another Turner Picture

Turner at 6 Months

excersaucer, originally uploaded by gregring.

Turner had his six month checkup today. He's a little over 17 puonds and twenty some odd inches long (I don't remember excatly). All I know is that he's 50% in weight and 90% in height. He also had four shots which he wasn't happy about, but he made it.

This is a picture of him in his excersaucer in our backyard.

Turner's still cute

Turner_thumbsucker, originally uploaded by gregring.

I know I'm horrible. A post a month is not excatly what I had in mind when I started this thing but, you see, I'm lazy. And this way every picture I put up of Turner it really looks like he's growing a lot! Which he is. He's "off the charts" tall and in the 60% of weight. Dominating. He's recently started rolling over like a maniac. It's so funny to see him one day not interested in something then the next day doing something like rolling over - and back again - and again.

I'll try to be better about posting stuff, but I've lied before

Turner Tub

Turnertub, originally uploaded by gregring.

Ash and I have finally settled back in Dallas. Ash likes her new position at the hospital even thought the hours can be a little tough. Turner's doing really well also. We went to the doctor about a week ago and he measured off the charts for his height and in the 60% fo his weight. He's huge. It's so funny to look back at pictures of him just a couple of months ago and see how much he's changed. He's also starting to roll over and probably will start speaking full sentences by next week.

At last...a new post and more pictures

turnerangryhand, originally uploaded by gregring.

Ok, ok, get off my back. Here are some new pictures. My brother's wedding was last weekend and it was a beauty. I wish He and Michele a life of happiness. Ashley and I had a great time and we took a bunch of pictures while we were down in Dallas. We really miss our freinds and my family and are looking forward to getting back in two weeks.

Turner was baptized while we were down there by my brother Alex. That was a special time and one that I will remember forever. One reason why is that I have pictures!

Here is a link to my photo album. The newest ones are labeled "July 2005". I have the other albums on there too just in case you feel like wasting 15 minutes or so.

Demon Days

demon_days, originally uploaded by gregring.

By the Way, this album is really sweet. I recommend. It's not what I expected. Which is why I think I like it so much. Just get it. Get someone to copy it for you, whatever. I'll burn it for you. Just post a comment here and leave your address and such (if your really brave) and I'll get one right out to you. Promise. That's how much I like it.

Oh yea, Tuner? Still dominating. He's figured out that his dad is an old softy. When I try to put him to sleep he either cries for a half hour or he will coo and smile at me to try to get me to play with him. He's at the stage that he starting to really be interested in his enviroment and wants to interact with it. Even if it means he's giong to be "over-tired" later. Its been a learning experience for sure. He's really been good though. He usually goes to bed around 6pm and will sleep till midnight to about three am. It the afternoon nap we have yet to master.

It was Ashley and I's anniversary on Wednesday. we both went out (after Turner was sound asleep of course!) for dinner. It was really nice to get out and have a date. Ashley's still hot. I dig her.

Payce and Amy spotted in Columbia

payce and amy blog, originally uploaded by gregring.

Payce and Amy were nice enough to ride into town this weekend and stay a spell in CoMo. We all went out Friday night (with the exception of Ashley) and hit all the hot clubs in Columbia. That's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one. Nevertheless, it was fun to get out hang with some of my bestest freinds in the whole entire world. They got to see where I work, live, and most importantly see Turner who spent most of the weekend sleeping. Anyway, if you're like me you'd probably just skip all this crap narration and go staight for the crap photos.

Wedding Mania!

Lauren and Turner blog, originally uploaded by gregring.

There was a wedding this weekend for Jordan Taylor. She is a neighbor of Ashley and her parents here on Happy Hollow road. The reception was at the Taylor house and they set up a HUGE tent and had over 200 people for dinner, drinks and a little drunken dancing. It was really quite nice. Ashley and I took Turner and he was really awesome. Pretty much slept the whole time, with the exception of when he wanted to eat.

Speaking of eating, Turner is taking a bottle really well now! It turned out that he really (and I mean really) didn't like the bottle/nipple we were using. We switched the bottle and he took right to it. It such a relief for me and Ashley. Ashley can get out of the house for a longer period of time now.

I've posted some pictures of the fun over the weekend here. Check them out and let me know what you think.

I've been getting people asking about the new gregring.com site. My new portfolio website is on hold because the superpimp Jeremy Fields is in Europe pancing around eating french toast, french fries, and taking pictures of hairy armpits or whatever. He's coming back this week so we will regain progress soon. Thank you for your interest.

Turner is doing well. His 2 months doctors appt. is on Monday. I think it's the one where he gets his shots and junk. I'm glad Ash is taking him and not me. I'll post some more pictures of him soon (since he's the real star of gregringiscool). And again, thank you for your interest.

Thanks Kristen for the "Chick Magnet" shirt. Although this outfit kind of bums me out because Turner already looks like a todler in this picture. We've started trying to give him a bottle for the first time these past couple of days. The first time was full of gagging and outright refusal. The second was just full of gagging! We're getting closer! Actually you can tell he wants that milk inside that bottle, it's just a matter of finding out that technique. We'll keep you posted! Hurrah!

BFF!

grils2_small, originally uploaded by gregring.

Ashley's really good freinds came into town last weekend. Jenni (sp?) and her husband Jeff as well as Jane and her boyfriend Mike. We ate Chinese and had some wine and laughs. Ash was really happy to get the opportunity to hang out, as was I. We have the pictures to prove it.

I've been kind of slackin on posting stuff lately, but now that the Mavericks are out of the playoff and my nights are a little more free you can look forward to seeing more stuff up here.

Turner's started to really smile a lot. Ashley says he smiles at me far more than anyone else. I think he smiles at his mother just as much, but what do I know? I'm not with him all day. He also has started to find his thumbs which is really cute. He hasn't quite learned how to bend his elbow just so to get his hands near his mouth. It takes a good 30-50 trys before he has succuss. But when he does he's in hog heaven. Which is good because now he can kind of console himself if he starts to get a little fussy. Since he will not take a pacifier (he usually starts to gag and totally freaks) the fact that he's has his thumbs to put in his mouth is a lifesaver for Ashley and I. He's also started to get really chubby...ok fat. He's really cute and looking at my baby picture at six weeks - I was a chubb monster as well.

Three Ring Circus (ROCK ME!)

grandpaandturner, originally uploaded by gregring.

Sorry I haven't been posting stuff lately. It's really been crazy. I've been trying to get my stuff together to came back to Dallas and get a decent job. The website is coming along great. It's a lot of work, but not near as much as Jeremy Fields is putting into it. I can't say enough about him. He's really helped me out a lot. Anyway, my parents came last weekend and got to see Turner for the first time. I've included a link to some pictures here. They were really only here for a day, but they saw the greatness in my son. My sister Jennifer came with them. It was swell. Ash and I are still planning on coming back in July, so I hope everyone is ready - Lord knows I am.

Turner Gallery

Turner, originally uploaded by gregring.

Alright. Here it is. The long awaited, much anticipated and somewhat underestimated Gallery of Turner. I put pictures of Turner (of course) but there are a few of me as a baby and some of Ashley to come.

Turner is getting so big so quickly. It's crazy. I think he's a little over 11lbs. now! And he even seems to be getting longer. He was in the 80% of his hieght last time we took him to the doctor and now he seems to be even longer. You know what that means...center forward or power forward. Maybe both!

Go Mavs.

GET MAD DIRK!

I'm in Missouri watching my favorite team the Dallas Mavericks getting stomped by Tracy McGrady and the Houston Rockets. My in-laws are starting to think I have an anger managment problem with all my cursing and yelling. It's really my only outlet for my testosterone recently. Anyway, I'm sick of watching Dirk take jump-shots and go 4 for 65 from the field. He's got a white stiff on him and he's taking fadeaways! GO TO THE HOLE! I still think the Mavs have a shot in this series. They better...

me and ash vol.2, originally uploaded by gregring.

This picture is the first drink that Ashley had since she found out she was pregnant. It was during the celebartion dinner thrown by Ashley's mom, Jackie. we had Tenderloin. It was great. All three nights in a row. Ashley is not a big drinker. And the only reason why I'm writing this at all is because I love the headline (Which is a Homer Simpson quote.)

My new site should be up and running soon thanks to the help of Jeremy Fields. It should be pretty nice and really easy to update. I'm looking forward to it. There is a splash page at gregring.com. right now that will look strangely familiar. Stay tuned for the "official launch date.

Thanks for Visiting!

Me and Turner, originally uploaded by gregring.

I know you guys don't care about Google Satelitte images and my design buddies. The people have spoken and I they think Turner is cuter than me. And more importantly, more interesting (and he cant even type - much less talk!) Oh well, better get used to it. So to try to steal some thunder from the new Pope I've posten a link to the pictures that Whitney took over the weekend. These pictures of Turner are a really good. Thanks Whitney for bringing all those presents for him and posting these pictures so quickly!

I recently got word of my fellow friends catching heat because of my lovey-dovey post over Turner. Their wives are reading what a great father I am and wondering how they got stuck with these loser husbands and not a guy like "G-Force". All I can say is, get used to it boys. It's the give and take for having me as a freind. On one hand, you're freinds with thr greatest guy in the world; on the other hand you're freinds with the greatest guy in the world. Go figure.The wives are really jealous of Ashley. She gets to sleep next to this hunk-a-love every night. What a treat! -insert sound of Ashley laughing here-

Global Peeping Tom.

googlemaps, originally uploaded by gregring.

In case you haven't noticed, the mother of all search engines has expanded it's dominance into maps. Google Maps is a relative new venture from the company. But Mapquest isn't the only people that Google has shaking in their boots. Remember that movie "Enemy of the State" with Will Smith and Gene Hackman? You know the one where Hackman's character won't look up because he doesn't want to be "seen" by the government's eye in the sky. This is where Google has come in. If you go to Google Maps and search for a landmark around your house. Now zoom in as close as possible. Now look in the upper right hand corner where it says Satellite. Scary huh? There's no doubt that it probably works better if you have a high-speed connection. But I can clearly see my house, my driveway, even the 10x12 shed in my backyard. And this is the free version from a internet search engine. There's a paid version from Google where the image will be updated every 20 minutes. Do you think your spouse is having an affair while you're away on business? Now you can see if there is a "unexplained" car parked in the driveway.

We get by with a little help from our friends

Turner after a bath, originally uploaded by gregring.

Since Turner's been born we have been blitzed with gifts, cards and letters from friends, family and from people that I really don't know. I kind of felt the same way when Ashley and I got married in 2002. Everything from soccer balls to hand tie-dyed onesies (sp?) Thanks to everybody for all those wonderful things. Taking on the task of raising a child is a daunting one. But with the help from our family and friends, I'm confident that Turner's going to have tons of love coming his way. I have to take all the credit for picking such great family and friends.

Whitney (Ashley's Cousin & best friend) is coming in from Dallas and she is bringing a lot (from what I hear) of presents with her from various people. Should be fun.

Since you have stuck through the boing part of this blog, you will be richly rewarded for you attention with new pictures of Turner. Enjoy! And don't be afraid to post a comment. All the other blogs are laughing at my blog and my blog is starting to have it's feelings hurt.

This is starting to become a pain.

This blogging is stuff is wearing me out! I'm hoping to be able to post something everyday, but I'm quickly finding out that my life just isn't that interesting. OR maybe it is and hundreds of thousands of people are visiting this blog and eagerly awaiting every little thing I have to say...but probably not.

Turner is starting to look more and more like his dad. When he was born he looked excatly like Ashley's baby pictures. But as he eats more (and boy does he eat) his face starts to fill out and he's about 70% Ashley and 30% Me now. That's probably a good enough mixture. Anyway, I know people are still coming to this blog to see pictures of Turner so here they are.

If you like to check out good design then you'll love Ben Harben. He's another designer that works with me at the IDPgroup. He's uber-talented and has the website to prove it. Make sure to check out the "Bubblegum Society" where he chews bubblegum and makes pretty pictures out of it of fading reality televisions stars. Good stuff. The gum will eventually turn to dust and the pictures will be no more, much like these "so-called" stars. Get it? It's an artsy-fartsy thing.

It starts

3 Moms, originally uploaded by gregring.

I used to be cool. Hanging out till all hours of the night, partying with the boys, doing things that I would never post here. Then I got married. The partying slowed down to a crawl but there was still some craziness now and then. But now, this is what my life has become. Spending Saturdays taking pictures of the three moms and their kids and talking about how much this little girl pooped in the first month and how much this little boy loves his stuffed giraffe. "Oh, he wuvs it! Doesn't he! He wuvs his wittle giraffe!" It's not that I can blam these parents because I have now officially become one of them. And actually, I realized that even before we had Turner that these were just proud parents.They want to spread the joy to all the other people of the world. But as I crouched taking picture after picture I realized that my life is offically over. That's what people don't tell you when you're about to have a child. Sure they'd say "Oh boy, your life is going to change." And when your like me, the fun loving handsome type (ha) you think to yourself "but I'm still young! I've still got some partying left to do!" What people don't say is that the partying is over because you have a some thing at home that is more fun than anything. And I can't explain it. Turner is more fun. I'd have to admit that when I lived in Dallas I'd sometimes sit at home wondering if I was missing something. I was sure that one of my friends were going to call me in the morning and tell me about something and I'd be sorry that I stayed home with Ash to watch Extreme Home Makeover or something. But now, I KNOW that there is nothing better out there. I rush home for lunch now to see him. I'm upset when I leave in the morning for work and he's sleeping. It's been swell.

I used to be cool. But now I get to mold this little thing into something even cooler...if that's possible.

More of my son! Yeah!

More of my son! Yeah!, originally uploaded by gregring.

One of the newest pictures of my son, Turner. He eats really well, but not well enough for Ashley. Her boobs are about to float away they're so engorged. Thankfully, I'm not really a boob guy or I might get some ideas that Ashley needs to have some work done. There are more pictures of Turner here if you just can't get enough.

I'm going to be launching a new website soon that showcases my design work as well as some of my close friends talents. Like a short story from Colin Santos, paintings from Jon Eenigenburg, maybe a song or two from Jess Farr, etc... Stay tunes for that stuff. Although I'm sure my first day back at work in six days will set me back a little on that project.

Jeremy-Fields.com, originally uploaded by gregring.

I've been bragging on my ulrta-rad son, Turner, for the past couple of post and that will probably continue for the next couple of post. But I've neglected my duties as a designer. One of which is to promote my fellow designer buddies! Jeremy Fields is the Interactive Director at IDPgroup. He has finally launched his own website to showcase his talents as a web designer and interactive guru galore. Check out his talent here.

Also, Don't forget about Milton Mapes. I got to give props to the Lake Highlands grads for putting together one mighty fine album in "The Blacklight Trap". My favorite song has to be "Waiting for Love to Fail", but I'm sure you'll have your own favorite.

It's the "little" things

Me and my boy, originally uploaded by gregring.

We took Turner home (to the inlaws where we are staying) today. In all my life I don't think I've ever driven 10 miles an hour UNDER the speed limit - no matter what the speed limit may be. He's been awesome. He LOVES to eat and after Ash is done feeding him, I LOVE to hold him while he sleeps. It's what I do best with him. In case you didn't know, Ashley works as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse so she knows a thing or two about newborn babies. Although they usually aren't as healthy as Turner is (thankfully). That makes me feel even more clueless, but most of the time thankful that she mom of our first born. She insist that she knows nothing of healthy babies and says that she is just as nervous around Turner as I am...she lies.

Actually, I'm not nervous as much as inexperienced. I'm not afraid to change diapers or burp the baby, I've just rarely done it and therefor would much rather have a trained professional around to tell me how to clean the cord and take care of the poor guy's penis that's been freshly wacked. That's where I know God has stepped into my life and given my Ashley. It's a perfect example of Him knowing how much I can handle.

I promised more pictures and I will deliver. I was going to make this cool Flash-based photo album but alas, I've spending my time doing other things. So here is a temporary link to some more pictures of Turner if you care to see them. And I know you do!
More pictures of Turner

Turner Kenneth Ring

turner2, originally uploaded by gregring.

I know this ins't the greatest picture. I'll post a whole slew of them in a day or so - so stay tuned. Turner weighed 8.5 pounds and was 21 inches long. He was born on April 6th, 2005. He is so rad I can hardly stand it. Ashley had her water broken (by the doctor) at 10am, started pushing at 4pm, and Turner was born at 7:15pm. Needless to say, she's pooped. He's got a full head of dark brown hair and big hands and feet. As of right now, he really looks like his mother. Although he does have my feet and sense of humor! Ha! Anyway, like I said there is more to come as far as pictures and junk in the next couple of days.

Double B in the hizzie!

In a stroke of "what the hell?" Britton Beisenherz came strolling into town (Columbia) tonight to play with Milton Mapes at the Music Cafe. Sadly, since Asley in getting induced tomorrow at 6am we didn't have a chance to check out the show. But that being said, we still had the opportunity to swap stories and a down a beer (or two) before sound check. Ashley really enjoyed seeing him as did I. It's been a while, but seemed like yesterday we were killing a twack & swimming in the river. Thank to BB & the guys from Milton Mapes for hookin' me up with their latest "The Blcklight Trap". It will be the next addition to the iPod. Check them out at www.miltonmapes.com

As previouly stated, Ashley and I go in the hospital tomorrow to have this baby. It's a mixture of nervousness, excitment and sheer terror that I'm going to be a father in less than 24 hours. But God is with me. And believe me, I need Him. We'll have something posted by Thursday (if not sooner).
Thanks for all ya'lls support.

Here is a picture (allthough not a very good one) of the lucky lady who ended up with me. Ashley is doing really well and is looking forward to getting the baby out of her tummy and into her arms. She confessed that she felt is was a boy this morning. I think it's a girl. As long as it one or the other and not both or ambiguous, I'm psyched. Hopefully we'll have some pictures up here by friday. Until then, You'll just have to settle for this one of mom&dad.

A way to make me a better typist

This is my blog. It's simple. It's free. It's blog. Anyway I am typing this crap in hopes that someone someday will say "wow that's a good blog" But until that day I'll just use it to fine tune my typing skills. Don't expect much...(how's that for an intro?)

April 2, 2005

The final four is on tv right now, I had Louiville beating Illinois in this game in my brackett. How's that for pimp. I know I know, Illinois won. But it was worth a shot.

In case you didn't read my other blog (visit www.thisblogdoesnotexist.com for more details) My wife (Ashley) is preggers. I mean really pregnate. The docs are going to induce her on Wednesday if she doesn't go into labor by then. I'll keep you posted if you care. I may even put pictures up, etc... So like Ambulance LTD, Stay Tuned...

Anyway thanks for stopping bye. Bye,
