It’s going to be another one of those “Oh, it’s been two
months since I’ve posted!” posts.
You knew it, right?
I have things I want to say, every day. But not enough time to commit them to
writing. And it’s making me crazy. I mean, right now, it’s 3:10 a.m. and I can’t
sleep so I finally just popped open my laptop and here I am.
Our boys are making us crazy in different ways, but I’m not
going into that here.
Work is absolutely making me jump through myself. Yes, it’s a feat. But one I, for the most part, can handle.
On top of my regular duties on the executive sales team, I
put on several events for our oilfield populace. So I’m currently juggling several plates, all
the way to November and back.
Last night, we had an API (American Petroleum Institute)
meeting, featuring Dr. Michael Economides, a renowned author and expert on
geopolitics. Over 200 people
attended. We put this gathering together
in less than 2 weeks, and it was a rousing success. Dr. Economides cracks me up. He’s wildly intelligent, funny, and sometimes seems to be “out there”
in his thoughts about the energy industry. I, however, think his judgment is
sound, based on facts, and I love to hear him speak. Dr. Economides never fails to open my eyes
and further educate me in my own industry, one I’ve served for almost 30 years. Holy Crapola Thirty Years! Man, time flies when you’re having fun.
Dr. Economides is from Greece. The aforementioned trip in the prior blog? Was to Greece. Here's a picture of yours truly and ThatManILove in a restaurant on the island of Mykonos. It was wonderful, beautiful, and we had a great time. If you get a chance to go to Greece, do it. The people are absolutely wonderful, and they were so grateful that tourists were there! I'll try to catch you up on that adventure sometime over subsequent posts.

| Fun on Mykonos! |
On the home front at Casa De Crazy, ThatManILove has taken a
sabbatical from his most recent past client, and is looking around for his next
gig. His timing couldn’t have been
better, as we leased out one of our duplexes to a corporate client, and we had
to furnish it and get it ready. The
clients moved in this week. It was hard
work, but fun, to furnish a property from the ground up. The clients were greatly pleased and seem to
be enjoying the property.
And now, we have a trailer house to refurb. Once the refurb is completed, our plans are to
move it to a lake lot. And we don’t yet
know where. We have people begging to
rent it where it stands, but it’s hard to refurb something to your own
standards just to rent it out and put it in jeopardy. We don’t want to have to refurb it twice,
right?
It’s now 3:24 a.m.
Maybe I can catch a couple of hours of shut-eye…I’ve a busy day
tomorrow! Blessings to all!
