Thanks Mitch, it's such a relief to see (and feel) the progress for sure.  The nightly Atripla 'high' is worth it I guess lol

Hi Jon,

You have a nice Midwest sense of being polite.
A bit off topic here but how are the plans going for you in regards to SF?
Love SF! :)

Hahaha mitch.... 2 things came to mind: 1) people are polite in the midwest? LOL  2) my employees might not agree! (I tease them a lot, it's fun though)

Check your PM's on the other stuff for more detail, but I was out there last month for a few days, definitely not going to spend another winter where I'm at!
