As a lot of you know I travel for business on a regular basis and I thought that I was done for the year after a trip to Houston next week but I just got told that I have to go to "The Power Leaders Retreat at the Lodge in Cherokee, TX" the weekend of 11-13 December. The description of the event is:

The Lodge at Cherokee is a remote, 105 year old ranch house situated among beautiful live oaks on the Parker Ranch in Southeast San Saba County, Texas.

This will be a truly relaxed experience where we provide the opportunity to share your views on today's power, oil and gas markets or the performance of your generator set with other XXXXX company customers. Some of the other subjects that may be discussed in our informal setting include:

• The XXXX100
• The XXXX6000 NXGN Package
• The XXXX2500 Product family and Offshore Package Applications
• Service and Parts Programs
• Turnkey Services
• Project Financing
• International Marketing

The surroundings are great for photography, with abundant wildlife and beautiful landscapes. Additionally, we have white-tailed deer and wild hog hunting. So if you intend on hunting, you will need your rifle and hunting gear. Camp dress is definitely casual.


Boy, corporate life sucks sometimes.
