absorb confidence forward higher honest loss move people priority until valuable wrapped
We'll absorb Jamie's loss and move forward and, to be honest with you, I'm not going to get real wrapped up in it this week. I have one other priority that sits a little higher than replacing Jamie, as valuable as he was, and I have a lot of confidence in the people that I have that we'll be able to absorb it for the short-term until we find a replacement. But I'm not going to let it be a distraction.
