So I was going to go to SEMA next week. Fly out Tuesday morning come back on Friday afternoon.
We (Calpine) have a power plant in Mojave Valley, Az (across the river from Needles, CA) so I can work write off the flight and one night at the hotel, and then take vacation and out of pocket the rest. WOO HOO was the plan. Check out the new stuff, shake hands, kiss babies, party, maybe decide if I want a sponsor what would I have to give up, etc..... I just wanted to get my feet wet in that atmosphere where deals are made and feel if I even want to pursue after this coming year. Decide if there is any sort of future to marketing Triple Nickel, myself, and my team. We all have dreams right?
Not sure if you guys caught it but my father-in-law had open heart surgery last Thursday, and is coming home tomorrow. He can not drive for 6-8 weeks. Since I was going to be out of town he is my backup for taking the baby to daycare since it is downtown, and the wife works 25 miles away. Its not realistic to still go. I could ask the wife to take care of the baby, her dad, take the baby in rush hour and pick the baby up in rush hour and do her job??? Not likely, I actually love her too much to pull that **** move.
Its funny how frustrating you think life is and everything we have going. Each and everyone of us, and every now and then we get a moment of clarity. Family, life, L.I.V.I.N. and all of a sudden none of this **** matters. Sure I'm going to miss a helluva a time and opportunity, but **** it happens again next year.
Doug, Brian, Woodlee, have fun for me, maybe even pour a little out thinking about me missing the good times. Good luck, sign the big deal, and dont be scared to ask for everything and the kitchen sink, be closers!
