Hey BBJ,

I can't (nor do I want to) do anything till 4:30 AM except snooze....

It does npot surprie me that Dan was not able to utter those phrases to you. I am not sure what it would change because I have always stipulated that actions speak louder than words (that goes both ways).
As far as bringing things (his signature) up to him or not, I really don't think it changes much. I guess if you wanted to get ALL this over and done with, you would have been after him to sign prior to his departure.
I know a part of you still is hoping for a last minute turnaround...we have all been there....some just have more patience than others.
