Sorry I didn't make it folks. Thank you for notes. Anyone apart from Colin going to ApachCon? I would really like to hook up and get drunk and talk grace, etc. I'll be in Austin Sunday, Monday, Tuesday leaving Tuesday night. Chris Mattmann and myself are hosting the science and healthcare track. So I'll be around that crowd. Lewis
