Hello.
Mike, I'm not going to bother you with business, but I just want to be sure that you and Maureen know that Pat and I send our very best for Christmas.
Is the weather lousy?
No.
It is?
Oh, good.
On the West Coast, I talked down there this morning, and they told me it's just raining pitchforks, so I'm glad you're having a better bet.
Well, it is.
Good.
And we want to wish you a good Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
Right.
Let's hope it's peaceful.
Yes, and the best in the years ahead for you and all your family.
Well, thanks, Mike.
And just get a little rest.
With my continued respect.
Yeah.
We'll see you on the 18th.
Okay, sir.
All right.
Bye.
Thank you, Mr. President.
