Trip last week to Houston

I was able to make a trip last week to Houston, Texas. I stopped in at nine different customers and prospects during my visit. Besides the near 100 degree weather, it was a very good trip. Most everyone said they had seen things picking up in the last six weeks or so.

I also stopped in at Minute Maid Park to catch a few innings of a baseball game between the Astros and Cubs.

Down the third base line at Minute Maid Park is a small scoreboard. This is certainly not unique, but between innings the scoreboard scrolls through all of the energy stock prices for the day. Obviously this is important to many companies, as well as individuals in the Houston area. Maybe I will see the stock ticker at other ballparks in the future.
