It's Hockey Season, I Was Busy...

Yeah, I know it's been awhile. Not much interesting was happening. But now I have Interesting News to share.

First news is that my company exhibited at a big trade show again last week. NAPE (the North American Prospect Expo) is a pretty big deal around here. People buy and sell land and offshore oil prospects, equipment, and services for two days. And there's beer, but it's pretty lousy beer. We had a pretty awesome booth. Here's us in the booth.


We had a puzzle that we made of the Gulf of Mexico, and we got to put it together. Sometimes people stopped to help us, but we figured even if no one talked to us the whole show, we had a puzzle to keep us amused. I can't find a picture of it, so you'll have to trust me: it was cool.

The other exciting news is that I made an offer on a house (yes, it's in Houston. Your sympathies are appreciated) which was accepted, and I have a mortgage locked in. It still has to go through inspection, though, so no one's allowed to get too excited (or depressed) until closing day. I'll let you know when that is - don't worry!
