[0:30] I was wondering whether, uh, your invitation would be if he came before or after the, uh, decision to go in north of Virginia. [0:36] Maybe that might alter your plans. [0:39] Would you like to have him come up? [0:40] I think it would be nice for him to come up, but his plan is just closing around. [0:46] He doesn't know where to go. [0:49] He'll be up today, though. [0:50] All right. [0:51] He seems to be in good spirits. [0:54] He is in good spirits. [0:54] And he's been to New York, apparently, but not to New York. [0:59] Yes, I think he went out to New York, and he was down at the farm. [1:01] Right.

[1:27] Well, somebody relax for a minute. [1:29] We don't have people or other people around. [1:32] That's fine.
