Hello.
Hello.
President, how are you feeling?
You were, uh, with Wallace yesterday.
I tried to call you in your line of duty.
Yes, I spent about an hour or so with him.
He stayed over an hour and a couple of doors with my mother.
Yeah.
And, uh, he's rather interesting.
He's going to visit John Nichols this afternoon.
Yeah.
Yeah, set it up for him.
He, uh, he certainly supports St. Vladimir and he...
You see the travel times, how much it meant to him when you went to visit him, and how much it really helped him.
Good, good, man, good.
The wife, too, was very complimentary about it.
Very nice.
Very gracious.
That's pretty good.
But if you don't, you can tell that he's going through some pain and he's got this different weight back.
That's good.
He's a spicy guy.
He's a different patient.
Right, right.
But he's a pretty big nurse for me.
Right, right, right.
How are you doing?
Fine, fine, fine.
It's pretty cold up there.
Matter of fact, the crew today, not bad.
And, uh, uh, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were,
Well, I hope you'll try.
Yeah.
Well, I think that maybe you could come up sometime, uh, anytime you see, uh, I mean, I mean, say, you know, over a weekend sometime.
Fine.
Anytime.
It's good.
You have to do what you do.
You have to do what you do.
Right.
That's good.
Right.
I talked this morning to the, uh, broker at, uh, Ned's house, and, uh, they're going to let me know.
Yeah, about the French and all that.
I told them that I might be up there in a couple of weeks.
Good.
Oh, isn't that good?
Good.
Good.
Good.
Good.
That's just going to be great, dude.
Yeah.
All right.
I'd be sure to take John and Margo over to that dinner at that house.
Will you do that?
Yeah.
You know, I want them to be up there with the crew and everything and let them have a little time.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Nice talking to you.
