It’s the best I felt, obviously, in 7-8 months, so finally have a little bit of a light at the end of the tunnel, for sure, and have a lot of direction in what we’re trying to accomplish and we’ve gotten some huge progress and big jumps the last probably two, three, four weeks, so we’re moving in the right direction.”
