  I'd just thought I'd sent this reminder from Amy's message with a
confirmation from people in Atlanta occupying a home that they will be on
to help share best practices with us.  My own suggestion is that we let
them do that first, to allow them to leave early if we end up talking about
more stecific Houston logistics.

This'll be my first time conducting a conference call, so expect a small
bit of chaos and please be gentle with me.

Peace,
Amy
