I do something similar at times. Like I might start out saying I have a few things to talk about and I don't want to spend the entire time on one thing. Or if I don't do that and I feel like we're spending a lot of time on something when I have other things on my mind, I'll say "I had something else I wanted to discuss, too." It generally works. I've also emailed him before a couple times and said "I need to talk about x, make sure I talk about it." He said he gets things like that from clients a few times a month, so apparently it's a common way of dealing with things.
