I am going to shoot for about 40 minutes worth of slides. Given my past
history at BLU, I expect it will actually take me 80 minutes to get
through :-) Brian and I decided that it would make more sense for us to
talk about a budget build in a separate meeting later.
I will send you an abstract of the talk over the weekend once I have a
chance to put the outline together.
