Last Call!...

Hey, everyone! Just a quick last call to say that I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow! As far as I know, Steve is still completely in the dark. How I've managed to get everything prepared, purchased, organized, etc. without raising his suspicions is either a testament to how much we trust and respect each other, or how good of a liar I am.
