You’ve been at it for 35 years and I’m gonna pick your brain if that’s ok. Jim Gillespie: Yeah just leave me some brain cells at the end. Nathalie: Ok. Hey, and you’re calling from California I think, right? Jim Gillespie: Yeah. Nathalie: What’s the weather there? We’re getting into that time of the year where everything is starting to change. Jim Gillespie: Well I’m about an hour inland of San Diego in an area called [inaudible] we have like wineries and stuff like that and about an hour and a half from downtown LA. So it can get hot here during the summertime, but we had 5 days in a row with 100 and now it’s a cool 80 but starting tomorrow it’s supposed to be [inaudible] and summer’s given us a last nudge, saying “I’m not gone yet!” But hopefully in the next week or two we’ll be down to normal weather.
