There are a few contributors at SeekingAlpha I recognize and trust. Michael Fitzsimmons is one. I agree with every one of the five (5) reasons he provides for holding COP for the long haul.

The same could probably be said for EOG.

My hunch: before the year is out, COP will acquire significantly more shale acreage in one of the three big domestic plays. You read it here first.

A Note to the Granddaughters

I doubt anyone will read this far down. The above notes were posted earlier, and now later, I will add this post for personal reasons.

My only purpose in life is taking care of my granddaughters. Yes, I have a number of other things that keep me busy, but at the end of the day (and the beginning of the day), my number one priority is 24/7 care for the granddaughters. When my daughter is off from work and she has the girls, I am "free" and I enjoy that free time. But I prefer being with the granddaughters over anything else.

My days start at 6:15 a.m. with them when one is getting up (the other sleeps in until 7:00 a.m.). Their mom heads off for work about 6:15 five days out of seven; the days vary. Their dad is often on the road, working very hard and very, very long hours.

The day starts at 6:15 with me getting them breakfast; my 6-minute soft-hard boiled egg is second to none.  The day ends at 8:30 p.m. It's a long day, to say the least. I am free between 7:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. when they are at school.

I am addicted to the blog, and can't wait to get information posted as quickly as possible. I make a lot of typographical errors but go back and clean them up when I see them. I appreciate folks not writing to tell me of inconsequential typos -- they will be taken care of. But I do need to know if I make a major error. I do most of the posting when the granddaughters are in school, but will continue to post later in the day if there is time. But after 2:30, time with the granddaughters takes priority over the blog and the Bakken will simply have to wait.

Most nights I am exhausted but music rejuvenates me and even when alone, I love to put the big headphones on. Two years ago big headphones were about as geeky as they could be, but now I see they are the "in" thing. It's hard to believe that a $500 pair of headphones can be that much better than the $50 pair I am wearing. So, now I will listen over and over to Norah and Billy Joe and Foreverly. And tomorrow, I will listen over and over to something else.

A bunch of rambling while I listen to Norah and Billy Joe.
