Well, maybe.
I thought you should know that we, uh, I don't want to say anything about it, but you won't have to go to Maine because I've, I don't know, changed signals.
We're going to arrange to fly to Florida after Rochester and spend the weekend there.
So, uh, I haven't told Pat yet, but I wonder, because the leg just moved in.
Yeah, she's over here.
So, I don't want to line it up, but she'll come along, see?
So I'm gonna wait till she leaves, and I'm gonna tell Pat that we're not going there.
We're going in, see?
See if she knows we're going to Flores.
She knows we've got an extra house in the main, so we're not going, see?
All right.
But we'll come back.
We'll be down there Friday after Friday evening, about 5, 6 o'clock.
No, 7, perhaps.
For dinner.
We'll spend Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
So it'll be nice.
It'll be nice to be here.
I'll go back there.
I'll go there in, perhaps, in August for a little swarming.
All right?
Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
It's been three days.
Three days.
We'll stay right there and have a chat.
Reverend Elaine Washington, it's your house.
You know that?
Well, we had a wonderful reaction to that wedding.
What do you think?
I think it might have...
Because it's so non-controversial and everybody looks nice.
I can't find so many people.
They waited and saw through it all.
Okay, we'll see you Friday.
