I've got to get ready for next week. Speaking at the FCC wisp showcase, meeting with congressional staff, meeting with Commissioner Abernathy, have two dinner meetings set up already too. Oh and I have a session to do at George Mason Law University too.
And Thursday kicks off our annual Deutchesfest and I NEED to be here to help mom and dad (I'll cook many thousand sausages over the weekend). So I fly out Friday too dang early and will drag myself into bed at somewhere around 1am Sat. morn. Only to be on east coast time zone (already working on getting used to that) so I'll probably wake up at 4 or 5 am. Anyone wanna trade places for the next two weeks? lol And you whiny assed bastards that are always trying to beat me up for 2% on your orders remember how hard I'm working on my OWN time and money to help this industry grow. (I think electro-comm might pick up the plane ticket for the trip but the rest ($140 per night for an ok hotel!) is on me, myself and my family's nickel.) laters, Marlon (509) 982-2181 (408) 907-6910 (Vonage) 42846865 (icq) 64.146.146.12 (net meeting) www.odessaoffice.com/wireless www.odessaoffice.com/marlon/cam ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Damron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 12, 2003 9:13 AM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] OT Wiseguy > MAN!
