I lost track of time , am I late ?   Yes . What kept you from arriving on time ?   My friend needed me to help him .   I realize that everyone has emergencies ; just get here on time from now on .   I will try . My apologies .   I appreciate you saying that and would like you to join us in our meeting .   Sure , I'll sit right here .   Wonderful , does anyone have any questions about this project ?   I am confused about the projected revenues .   I'm glad that some of you get it , but let's go over it once more .
