No big deal, as that would still fit in with your guesstimate that "the news release should be out between the second or third week of November", provided that your buddies can tear themselves away from fishing and get on with the drilling. <gg> In any case, my golfing buddies tell me that Grayhairs has overstayed Mother Nature's welcome and had to be carted off the snowbound golf course on a dogsled, (supposedly he was looking to shoot an "eagle"?), so hopefully, when he recovers from his summer travails, he will have time to get back to things more important, like straightening us goofballs out - instead of chasing little white balls around. (BTW Gofer, it may have been Tuesday yesterday...... "If today is tuesday, this must be Belgium. Wait! today is tuesday! this is Belgium!" ...but today being Wednesday, I'd strongly suggest you lay off that Tripel and get back here fast as well. Your tomatoes are about to freeze!) Also, while I'm all over the place, I noticed with pleasure that XEN just closed up 12.9% at $.35 That's the Olympic spirit! Now could we have a few more close-ups of the kookaburras, if not a full backgrounder by the CBC or NBC? Sorry, dad, just lumping all my correspondence into one. Anyway, welcome to SI and allow me to second your opinion as far as the final results of BKP #2 are concerned: <<Any date earlier than that would be a major surprise, so relax investors. >> Ciao BTW, WRT your earlier comment on SH, my "dry wit" is only dry because with these damned stocks, I can't afford to drink anymore. Well, not Tripels anyway. <gg>
