I think at some point in time there will be a more informal conversation that I'm sure Andy and I will have about that. First and foremost, I want to get more of a feel for him and his personality and how he handles himself on a day-to-day basis. The last thing I want to do is be overly aggressive with him. I want to get him settled here and let him know this is his family here, and we're excited to have him.
