John,
My bad. I've been so tied up with 50 hour workweeks that I've let a few things fall behind.
I'm going to try to leave the office by 6:30pm tomorrow.
Hopefully I can make it for 7:30 or 8pm.

Just jotted some basic talking points if I make it and you guys are interested. Can do it on the fly, wouldn't take too long. Can even pull up this post as the 'overhead'.

Hope u can make it Mark. I'm not sure what above talking points mean? Maybe you misunderstood or I hope I didn't confuse you about this month's mtg and who was speaking? Paul & Bill will be doing the presentation. Your welcome to ask some points u made above during Q&A at end of talk. Maybe you can put together a power point on above topics when you give your presentation in the fall. Thanks
