Also, I'm a little hungry. Can you get me some beef and rice from that spot I ordered from last week? Looking into ordering food. So my law firm needs a licensing agreement template.

    “While you're doing that, I want to play tennis this afternoon, so can you look for a court for me in the Lower Haight? Checking now. I'll see what I can find. Can you include the photo that I have of it in my Downloads folder? There's like a slight dent in it... Can you put in the description that it's just slightly damaged? Can you just take the limitation of liability provision, make it a little more favorable to the licensor? Okay, I've tightened it so the licensor's liability is more narrowly capped. That looks pretty good. Thanks.”
