Lucas told me one of the things that made him not believe so much was the who concept was bit fatastical. I came up with the idea of modernizing the concept by telling him the Customer Svc.

Next year we are incorporating seasonal holidays into the year--isn't that the point but to mark the passage of time with rituals and traditions?
