Hello?
So, Julie, I had an idea.
We didn't have the peels to be overnight, did we?
You know, I thought this year we might have a few people on time.
And I was thinking about it.
I'll just have them invite them.
Not dinner, but have them come down to dinner.
Good.
Yeah, okay.
Well, that's great.
Well, you'll be glad to see me.
All the time will be great.
Life in a meeting like this, we just call you up to talk.
