Congressman Myers, sir.
Good morning.
Hi, John.
I just thought you should know that I noted from my congressional people that you had a birthday yesterday.
Well, you know, times when I'm not here, I just can't believe you could be 45 years of age.
I can't.
You don't hate to think about it.
Yeah, don't you hate to think about it?
That gives you about 25, 30 more years in the Congress, and by that time, who knows, you might be Speaker.
Yeah.
