Before you get off to Europe, I wanted to say wish you a happy birthday.
Well, thank you, Shiley.
Unfortunately, because of the death of Senator Carl Hayden, I'm going to have to cancel.
Oh, I see.
Yeah, that's right.
Oh, that's right.
Barry said he was there this morning and said he was going back up.
Well, it was a great Arizona, and we loved the old man, and...
But we're glad to have you here.
Well, thank you very much.
Right.
Well, I certainly do thank you.
It's very tough.
I'd love you to call.
Congratulations for a wonderful presentation.
Well, thank you.
From both sides.
Well, you're always with us, and I do appreciate it, Paul.
Very good.
Well, thank you.
