I almost got a trip to Stavanger when we were partners with Statoil on some
properties in the Gulf of Mexico but it didn't work out. We still are
partners with Statoil, but they chose to get out of the Gulf of Mexico and
are about 20 days from leaving the US. I am aware of how different the
lighting will be. I have never lived north of 35 deg N latitude. I hope I
will get to see the aurora borealis as I have never seen that before.
