Thanks Guys. I've been watching and waiting. All of my reading and studying has told me this will take about a year. But you guys are ramping up my excitement level. All this crazy talk and enthusiasm is sending cream puffs of monetary exuburence to my head. Dang it - where is Chuckdog to piss all over things! The last few days have seen the share price get within pennies of my average price. It will be good to see red become green! But that really does not matter because the green will become Hoopla Green in a few months.

Then comes National Bank - excitement level higher. Where's my Pepto. Where's my Valium! Don't worry, a cold Keith's will suffice. Like Coach, I do not wish to be the "wet blanket". Like many of you, I am a "Shlong". It is getting late so I'm getting drowsy. My excitement level is waning - but not much. I will wait patiently for Kodiak to release their news.

I am looking forward to the KXL ride. It could be the most boring roller coaster ride in the world - all up, no down.

So here is my opinion, and it is NOT HUMBLE. I think our Vegas trip will be memorable. I don't gamble. My balding head burns quicker than a newborn's arse. And I can't golf worth a crap - I've tried - a lot! But I love Vegas. And it will be good to share the town with like-minded individuals. The next report will come out, it will be good, real good, we will be happy. Then we can tip pints in some half-baked desert pub. We will tell tall tales of slaying the evil 'dog and his nefarious side-kick Fatman. We will regale ourselves with glorious 200 day moving averages and bottoms feeling resistance! And when we leave, some of us will be poor again. What happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas. It is told and recorded and photographed. Some of us will have some major grovelling to do. But all of it will be gold, KXL gold!

Well, my fellow KXLers, its late, the Red Wings are Champs and it is time for bed. Yes, this has little to do with educational discourse and investor knowledge, but it is good. Good for the Soul. Good for the Mind. Tomorrow the sun will rise and KXL too! Life is Good - Real Good.

Take care All,

CK

ps. Only 2 days of work left, then 9 weeks of vacation. Colorado, here I come!
