I kind of thought, I think it is not good for me to be in Atlanta before cheering thousands at a time that he arrives back.
And it's telling us to delay his flight, his return.
So he arrives about 5 o'clock, you know what I mean?
Sleep in.
And he will see Rogers immediately.
I think what we have to do is see him together and give him a little slap on the back.
And then he and I will have dinner with him and Haig.
And just the three of us together.
We won't announce that, but he and Haig and I will have dinner together.
And we'll have a talk.
Okay.
But he should not arrive when I'm dead on Atlanta.
It would be a hell of a mistake.
Talk to the lay there.
No, no, no.
The lay has had him arrive around five o'clock.
