Hi Blair,
Yes, we always enjoy partners with large bandwidth :)
I do not know of your schedule, but it would be great to have a phone
conversation
and discuss things.
I am more or less "wide open" tomorrow, but will be taking Friday and Monday
off to
kick off the summer with the kids.
The direct line to my office is:
303-497-8676
The best time for me would would be 10:00 MDT (16:00Z)
I hope this works for you and I look forward to our conversation, feel free to
toss out
another time or just give me a ring...as mentioned, should be in for most of
the day.
Cheers,
Jeff
