Hey, Molly. Hey, Kate. How was your break?
It was wonderful.
And while I love my job, it was great to get away.
And while you were away, were you able to get away from all things Trump?
Well, pretty much.
I mean, interestingly, the vacation I took for my kids' spring break was to Panama.
which you may have noticed has been in the news lately.
As you might expect from, you know, locals and tour guides and so forth,
there were a few references to the fact that this country has been in the news recently.
Did you go to the Panama Canal?
I did.
I actually spent my birthday on the Panama Canal on Sunday, and it was really cool.
That's like the most Molly Ball thing ever.
You chose to spend your birthday on the Panama Canal?
So now that we're back, what's on your mind?
Well, it does seem like I missed a lot of gyrations in ye olde economy.
Like, there was a lot of back and forth about the tariffs and the deals and the economic stuff.
And the markets.
So I'm trying to catch up on where all that stands.
All right, then.
