Hello.
Hello.
How are you today?
Fine.
Nice and foggy here.
Pretty busy, otherwise fine.
Are we wondering maybe if you could give B.B.
a call?
He's going to come up—he was going to come up Thursday, you know, for his birthday—and see if his schedule could permit if he could come earlier.
I mean, he could come up today or tomorrow, you know, or something.
Because I'm keeping all my evenings free, see, because I'm seeing Agnew tomorrow and Connolly the next day and so forth.
So it will be good for me to have somebody just see I don't like to have dinner with the staff and earning like that, see.
And nobody else is here.
So you could come up today or tomorrow.
Yeah, at a time that is convenient.
And then I think Dooley ordered a birthday cake, isn't it?
Friday's his birthday.
Birthday's Friday, but he was going to come up Thursday so that he could be here.
Thursday night or something like that.
Okay, we'll see if he can make it today or tomorrow.
Today or tomorrow.
That is convenient.
It's whatever he likes.
Okay.
And Coach George Allen called this morning.
Oh, yeah.
He wanted to know if you wanted to come with your family or a friend for the game Monday night.
Well, you should call him back then.
I'd just love to, but I'm in the midst of this reorganization plan.
I told him I didn't think you could, but that I could.
I greatly appreciate it, but I've got to wait until after Thanksgiving before I can get to a game.
Okay.
Fine.
I thought I'd ask you so I wouldn't keep him, you know.
No, no.
I can't do it.
I don't want to go out right now publicly anyway.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
And shall I let you know what BB says or just let Brandon know when he'll be there?
You can call me back.
Okay.
Yeah, thank you.
All right.
Bye.
