Thanks very much- yes, let me know date(s) that might work for you.

Ideally Wednesday onward.. I'm Democratic Town Chairman of my hometown and
it's E-Day on Tuesday for the local elections!  I've got a former
Congressman (Rob Simmons, formerly CT-2) running for First Selectman
against our local tennis coach.  I've matched the R's in funding..it will
be interesting to see what happens.

I could also do Monday if that is best.

Call anytime  202-487-8909
