How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Calculating a Working Interest

Amazing to think that, in looking back, the online record of words seems to make no mention of the last time your favourite IPP decided to take on the utility...  That time was stressful, but at least narrowly focused and eminently winnable.  This effort has always seemed more suspect, but at last the time has rolled around and the bluster of opposing counsel is almost in the past.  Some great guys, although frustrated by the lack of records and poor drafting that perhaps will be yet used to some advantage.  Here's hoping for at least a middling result that is more positive than the rejected settlement.

Strange, arguing the difference between "their" and "the", the limited availability of carbon markets, the impossibility of counting curtailments.  It is a career, and one for now that should free up a summer, but it also makes you wonder.  I look forward to the end.  The annual commemoration of June 5 around the corner, now at the 9 year mark, and then the 34th.  Hopefully the weather cooperates for the boat, and things can get back to normal on a work-out, cleaning, eating, yoga, and all-around living even keel.  And it should, Cooper on the way, 2 months only until Al's big wedding day, and more.  I dream.  Ironic that the key claim this week is about the proportionate share, or working interest concept... What share of time should you be devoting to such madness, and how interested are you in such work going forward?  For now, through and through and through and through is the mantra.  See you on the other side, and the 8th, when in order to make this one memorable, I suggest the online profile finally get established.  What to lose but your dignity, and that is surely long gone already...
