Congratulations, Cathy, on your well-deserved win!  I was lucky to be facing
the track when it happened.  There were definitely some cheers from our side
of the fence.  Thanks for hauling that stuff down here for me.

Yeah, meeting Michael's dad was great.  I look forward to speaking with him
again.
Brian, it was great to meet you, too.
