Appointment . I think 8 15 on tuesday is the time to go because its not monday. Its not the end of the week. 8 15 he probably hasnt gone to bed. You know he has had his dinner.

Whats the lesson . I dont know what you do but if i want to find out and you wont talk, im going to be knocking at your door even at 71 years of age. [ applause ] i want to say this is the most fun ive had in ages. Thanks to all of you. Bob, ken, carl, elizabeth. This has been just absolutely terrific event thanks
