Hello?
Hello?
Yeah, I just called to be sure your coattails were long enough for me in Massachusetts.
I have to tell you that I'm delighted because I take off in about an hour, 2, 6, 8, 12, 5.
We have one that we're sure of, and that's yours.
Yeah.
Well, my wife said she had a great meeting up there, despite the little messiness with the... Yeah.
All right.
Well, you know, it wasn't our people.
Well, we're going, uh, right down the wire, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
Uh, I would say that, uh, I wouldn't speculate about it if I were you, but I would, for this reason, I believe, just can't say, uh, my own, uh, my, uh, my, my destiny, because I just want to hold on to my destiny, and they're, uh, probably going to wait for that to happen.
You know, obviously, which is fine, but, uh,
But the major thing is we'll find out .
No.
You can be very confident.
You can be very, very confident on that point.
As I go to the website, I'm going to be very confident.

I'm going to be very confident.
I'm going to be very confident.
I'm going to be very confident.

The details are terribly important, as I pointed out.
Because we didn't work out the details of bombing off 68.
We were only a cause, and not a fault.
So, uh, but I, we still need, you know, details.
There don't have to be another meet.
But, but you can, but you can still, you can still be confident on that point.
No, there's, I would say, I wouldn't say anything about the date.
I can only say that the, uh, you can well see that they have to re-recognize the, uh, group.
I'm very confident.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, they, they, well, they, uh, that's a little bit, uh, that's a take on what you said.
In fact, no, they're in that direction, but, uh, they're there.
Well, good for you.
Thank you.
