Things are going good in legal. I am getting to work on some interesting
stuff. I just finished working on a compressor deal with Mark Courtney. It
was an asset and finance deal. I got to work with the finance commercial and
legal types and learn quite a bit in a very short time. It is hard to keep
up with the pace and not make a total fool of myself with my lack of
knowledge at this point. Tense but fun.

I didn't see the any of the high school all star games. I heard Babers and
Turner both looked very good in the Texas- California game. Sounds like they
were covering some 6'5" bad asses from California and pretty much shut them
down. At least that most other peoples opinion. Sounds like Kenny Hayter
look pretty good. Leading Texas rusher. He sounds like a power runner not a
real juker.

I am really worried about the NC State game. It would suck to lose the home
opener, but I think that is a very real possibility. Their quarterback
sounds like a stud and they have some big recievers, ala UCLA. I still think
we will at least go 7-4 probably 9-2 best case. Your right though. If we
fall flat with 5-6 or something it will slow the momentum Mack is building.
I just don't think that will happen. Mack is too smart and can really get
these kids to overchieve. I think his players believe and are motivated to
play hard. Mackovic only won with offensive schemes and good athletes like
James Brown. When you think about it though, Mack following Mackovic is
really going to pay dividends in the long run. Mack Brown and Greg Davis
weren't exactly known for their high powered offense at UNC. But Mackovic
had installed a strong passing game and quarterbacks which Mack and Greg
picked right up on. Now we have kids like Mock, Williams, and Johnson
wanting to come here for the offensive scheme alone. I like it. It is going
to be fun in about 2 years with the quality of kids we are now getting.

I will think about the groups I have worked with and let you know on any
areas to go. I have worked a lot with Larry Lawyer in the finance group and
know he is looking work people. I don't know if this was the same stuff you
did in Denver or the same group. Might be. Those guys do work a lot of
hours. Almost as bad as attorneys. I will give it some thought.

Well, all for now. Keep in touch. I am glad you are going to be back in
Houston. We will have some fun. I want to hear all about how much you
really like Australian women or more specifically, how much they like you.
