Thu Dec 31 15:32:23 EST 2015
I was about to ask Robert to get a contract underway for OKC before he goes on vacation next week but with Bittners change , it's too close to call.
Bittner if you switch back it could expedite a final contract and decision by as much as a week.
I'm fine either place. Any time.
Robert, provide other commentary if you'd like.
I'm on vacation this week and not following the details as closely as when on the clock.
