Art, I would love to hear you speak. Any chance of doing this in the South Bay?? I leave the house about 5:00 a.m. to get to my Orange office before the traffic becomes misery. 6:00 p.m. in Westwood might be tough, but I’ll try to make it. As long as you read the end of Skin Dance where Carlos has the conversation with himself.

Thanks for the kind words. Traffic north on the 405 may be very tough. I appreciate your support.
