Thanks. I'm happy to chat whenever you'd like. How about a call before the 1st, and then we can have a follow-up discussion in January?

Ami,
I really want to do that.  right now, I'm there Tuesday but for
meetings with WJC. Then I'm in California till after the 1st. Should
we talk by phone before the 1st or wait to see each other after? I've
asked Ira for a memo on his recommendations for what the strategy
should be here going forward, but have received nothing to date.
John
