Mike, Hope everything is going as well as could be expected. First, I wanted to ask you for a favor in that we are basically short to you 175 mw of cal 02 cob light and and 100 mw of 03 cob light. Cob is such a thin market and I was hoping you might be able to help us out on counterparties who might have offsetting positions I could bookout with. Second, we are going to be looking to expand at the beginnning of 02, our credit is good with just about everyone now, and we will be looking to hire one or two experienced people to trade the west, especially one long term guy. We're obviously not as big as some shops but we have a very aggressive bonus payout. Anyway, something to keep in mind once things get more settled up there for you guys. Thanks to you and Bob for the help yesterday booking some of this stuff out.

Our Director of Corporate Travel has informed us that American Express will not be able to establish a new Corporate account for us at this time. Until we are able to obtain company-sponsored credit cards, when incurring company expenses it will be necessary to use personal credit cards or cash, which can then be submitted for reimbursement through the expense report system. You may want to refrain from incurring any reimbursable expenses until we receive further assurances from the company that they have the processes in place to pay them. As information becomes available about administrative operations, I will relay it to you. Please contact me if you have any questions.
