Legal pitch?

Apologies for the hijack.

I can say that both you and Steve were missed, at least by me. You were there is spirit with the virtual discussion (oh yeah, I see you were civil to my boss, even though he has the exact same opinion about that particular play--haruph!). Of course we took care of the First State's "little" contingent.

As I was talking a hot shower every morning, I really didn't miss the Biltmore.

The facility did work out nicely, accommodating the 470+ in attendance. My only issue was that some of the social/networking activities were diminished due to attendees staying at different hotels.

Of course, he's a baseball-oriented guy

Don't want to start on that one

Never had any issue, including hot water all the times I spent at the Biltmore

This is to what I was referring. Too much is lost there for what should be a major part of the weekend.
