Congrats to my good friend and colleague, Pat Phelan, at Cubic Telecom. Pat has a couple of distinctions. Beyond being one of the nicest true gentlemen I've ever met, he's a tireless worker who's constantly on the run trying to improve the state of the industry. I was sad to have missed an opportunity to meet him today in Vancouver. Unfortunately, that's three hours away and there was just no way to get up there in time to meet.
