Thank you, Scott, and good morning, everyone. I'm going to give a brief overview of our second quarter results. Afterward, I'll pass the call to George for his thoughts. As a reminder, our comments today will refer to our earnings release supplemental package in 10-Q, which can be found on our website. We reported funds from operations or FFO of about 7.1 million or 7 cents per share for the second quarter, a gap net loss of about 8.4 million or 8 cents for the second quarter of 23. On a year-to-date basis, we reported FFO of about 15.5 million or 15 cents per share for the six months ended June 30, 23, and a gap net loss of about $6 million or $0.06 per share for the same period. As of June 30, 23, we remain with $400 million of total debt outstanding, which is the same level we reported at the end of March. With that, I'll turn the call over to George. George?
