Sounds like you’ve got, well, not necessarily impending disaster - rather a bit of thin ice to navigate there, **Eve**. I hope it all transpires well.

While I had an OK 2004, and the ever the roller coaster oil and gas exploration industry is sort of healthy right now, I’ve got to say that I just don’t know. It _could_ be one of my best years ever, but it could easily all turn to shit independently of anything I do. Fortunately, I’m accustomed to this perch.

If it _does_ go down the drain, I’m thinking of shoveling it all into a T-shirt shop at the beach.
