No, believe me I get it (I was being polite.). He was explaining to me how he was testing Bulger and Lin yesterday to see if they really know what they are talking about re China.  I told him he didn't need to worry - they were able to get you a meeting with Gao - they know what they are doing.  It is worth one conversation to see if I can dial him back.  If not, I give up.  There's a 50/50 chance I can fix this. If not, have fun in China!

I am not going to get overly involved, but I do want to dial him back a little so that he doesn't feel like he is directing everything or need to be in everything.  Particularly want to do this before the China trip as I am afraid he's going to feel like he needs to direct the schedule/meetings/who says what/protocol, etc.  Again, don't want to be overly involved, but he'll take my "advice" and it will make for a better relationship.
