However, I am getting up every morning at 6 to go run so that ought to count for extra.
dev41
Besides when did this become a contest I wouldn't think you'd consider me a worthy adversary...
dev41
at least not yet.
dev41
I do know the model you're speaking of, but isn't she married to some billionaire in Venezuela?
dev41
Is it really so you can look at girls or so people can look at you?
dev41
I think your right about everyone being able to beat anyone with one important caveat.
dev41
The individuals in question must be in the same strata.
dev41
I would not anticipate that an olympic medal winning long-distance runner could be beat by Joe Shmoe who runs every day at Memorial Park.
dev41
Of course if one is patient and bides their time they could probably stand a shot when the guy gets really old and slow.
dev41
Also, are you so bold as to suggest you've never lost?
dev41
Or do you not identify them as losses but rather the results of your own choosing?
dev41
You're the greatest.
dev41
I think Little Woodrow's is on for tonight although I'm still waiting to see if my brother and his wife want to go out tonight (he leaves for South Korea Sunday), if they're a no go I will be on the deck with a bucket of beer.
dev41
P.S.
dev41
You are in peak physical condition.
dev41
So are you going tonight or not?
dev41
It looks like people are going to start arriving around 7:00 so I'd say just show up after your done running and getting all pretty.
dev41
I'm sure we'll all be there till at least 10:00.
dev41
Ben was actually already planning on going.
dev41
In fact he informed me he would be bringing a friend from Canada.
dev41
FYI - I didn't know there was a "friend" in Canada until very recently (although I had my suspicions) and further more had never heard a name until today.
dev41
Regardless, any friend of y'alls is a friend of mine.
dev41
Also, Nick is going to bring Amy (his significant other).
dev41
Should be an interesting evening.
dev41
Again Mark I am flattered that you include me in these explanations...but I don't really need them anymore.
dev41
I just finished having lunch with Tobin and he filled me in a bit about this morning's meeting.
dev41
I don't know how you reacted, if you were upset, etc. but I wanted to offer this up if you were struggling with the situation.
dev41
Whatever happens and whatever is said about your move don't ever lose sight of the fact that in every aspect of this situation you conducted yourself in the best and most open manner possible.
dev41
In no way can or should your conduct be called into question.
dev41
Bearing that in mind any criticism that was expressed within the meeting this morning was beyond inappropriate.
dev41
I am sure it reflected much more poorly on the accuser than it did any of those being criticized.
dev41
Furthermore, just keep focused on what an incredible opportunity this move is going to be for you and all of the doors it will inevitably open.
dev41
There isn't a doubt in my mind that you are bound for great things, you just have to seize the opportunities that will lead to that when they come along (which is exactly what you've done).
dev41
Keep your chin up and whatever you do don't doubt yourself or your actions.
dev41
O.K.
dev41
Just wanted to see if we're still on for Saturday night.
dev41
Let me know if anyone else wants to come because I think I'm just going to order the tickets today over the phone or on the internet.
dev41
Also, I was trying to remember how much I covered of your meal the other night at Sabroso's.
dev41
I think it was around $15, so if it's okay with you I'll just pay for your ticket and then take the difference from the amount you sent in that email and cut you a check for that amount (I know I'm very delinquent).
dev41
I promise I'm good for the money.
dev41
Also, was wondering if you're still interested in the Bruce Cockburn concert on the 11th.
dev41
Just let me know.
dev41
Hope your having a wonderful day.
dev41
Jeff, didn't realize everyone else was going to use narrative format.
dev41
Now that I've had a chance to think about it, I think ours will look silly if it's in Q&A format.
dev41
I'll work on changing it this evening.
dev41
Keith, last week you and I discussed briefly Facilities Planning's proposal to change the service factor on the Gallup compressor in order to increase capacity.
dev41
I believe you had concluded that a certificate application would be necessary.
dev41
Now Arnold Eisenstein is asking me (thru our commercial people) whether we would still have to make a filing if our certificated capacity could be increased without any physical modification to the compressor -- in other words, through a pressure commitment.
dev41
My initial impression is yes, we would have to make a filing.
dev41
Am I out of my mind?
dev41
Does this make sense?
dev41
Please advise.
dev41
Steve's new idea is to send a letter to Mark asking him to document/explain exactly what his role was in getting this deal.
dev41
Comments?
dev41
Not sure I care one way or the other, but after I see how it looks in writing, I'll have a better idea of whether this is how we should approach it.
dev41
Multi-tasking heavily today.
dev41
I'll send you a draft of our PNM answer to Dynegy protest by close of business.
dev41
Yes, I will send you a draft shortly.
dev41
Please see the attached and let me know your comments by Wednesday a.m. if possible.
dev41
We do not really have anything that specific, but I could at least point out that the San Juan lateral is fully subscribed.
dev41
Sure, why the heck not.
dev41
Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp.
dev41
In honour of your departure I think it is only right that we do "Red Meat" one more time.
dev41
I feel as though I've said this a lot lately but...Congratulations.
dev41
I don't want to devalue the statement by repeating it over and over again so just know that I am completely sincere when I say it.
dev41
The money sounds fantastic, although I hope that aside from the money you enjoy and are challenged by your new role.
dev41
I may not know you inside and out but I do know that you need to be in an exciting and fast-paced environment to hold your interest and sustain motivation and this sounds like it will provide that for you.
dev41
Also, the step up position-wise is great and I think deserved.
dev41
As far as being scared goes, that'll be our little secret.
dev41
You do know though that fear is a great motivator and often provides us with that extra push to do and try the things we may not have otherwise done.
dev41
I guess this means I'll have a good excuse to visit NY.
dev41
I may have to start training now for that.
dev41
Here is the quick & dirty.
dev41
None of the Gallup contracts contain a shipper out if the facilities are not placed in service by a certain date.
dev41
The respective obligations of the parties do not commence until the facilities are "tested and placed in service."
dev41
We notified our shippers by telephone yesterday that the facilities were in service.
dev41
The compressor has since been taken down because of excessive vibration and an unusual whining noise of undetermined origin.
dev41
EE&CC does not know how long it will take to correct the problems; they do not have enough information yet to even give an estimate.
dev41
Based on our experience with Hubbard, it could take months to correct the problem.
dev41
Today, we've been able to deliver all nominated gas simply because noms did not exceed our existing capacity.
dev41
Nominations are expected to exceed existing capacity this week, in which case we will have to allocate.
dev41
Given the uncertainty involved, from a PR standpoint I believe it would be best to tell the customers that because of unforeseen circumstances we are not in service after all, that we apologize for the mistake and will do our best to provide service on a daily or interruptible basis.
dev41
When the compressor is actually tested and really in service, we'll let them know.
dev41
The downside: we get no reservation charge at all.
dev41
(estimated loss: The upside: in the long run we probably save face with our customers. From a short-term economic standpoint, the better choice appears to be not to revoke our "in-service" announcement. When summer weather kicks in, we'll probably have to allocate every day. On our EBB we will have to give some reason for the allocation (or if we don't, shippers will demand an explanation anyway). Shippers' rights to a reservation refund will be triggered. The downside: shippers will never trust us again. Also, we could be subject to fraud or related causes of action for representing the compressor was "in service" when we knew it was not. The upside: on the off chance no one files a lawsuit and wins, we might at least get to keep some of the reservation charges owed us, to the extent deliveries don't fall below 75% of nominated quantities for a period of longer than 75 days in months other than July and August this summer. (In July and August, we don't get any reservation charge for amounts not delivered). We just need to keep in mind that normally the pipeline runs full in the summer months, and Gallup capacity was sold with that assumption in mind. Haven't had time to do a formal write-up; if you want me to turn this into a memo for wider distribution, let me know. For now, I think it's important to get a decision on one of the above options. The longer we wait to get information to our shippers, the bigger our customer relations problem will be.
dev41
Sounds like a great idea -- let us know where/when.
dev41
Who all would you like on your guest list for tomorrow?
dev41
Regular crew?
dev41
I've called and checked before and evidently the steak cook comes rain, sleet, snow or hail.
dev41
So unless everyone's opposed to eating inside, if it's raining, we can go no matter what.
dev41
I apologise for the delay in my response to your email.
dev41
Thank you for contacting me regarding the rotational opportunity in your group.
dev41
While it sounds intriguing, I will not be able to pursue it as I have already begun my second rotation with ENA.
dev41
However, I would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your group and any possible future rotations.
dev41
Please let me know if you would be able to meet at some later date.
dev41
Thank you again.

Lorraine: here's Keith's brief response to your question about increasing capacity without changing the service factor or making other mods to the Gallup compressor.
