T$ - Milt makes a good point. It's always good to make the boss man look good.

Another good point was have a solution to recommend and make sure VP guy knows what's going on with stuff on your plate. Full disclosure, but with a recommendation that makes both of you sucessful.

Oh, and finding a subtle way to reiterate what you discuss in an email is good for CYA. Small exception being for the "conversation that never happened" over lunch.

Good luck. You've got my number if you want to call and discuss.
