It is now running Thursday until Sunday. Calger has found a leased plane that costs roughly $13k for one roundtrip and a total of $20k for two round trips. I had already made arraingements to attend a wedding in Oregon on Saturday night. It is a good friend of mine and my wife's. It's in eastern Oregon and is about a four hour drive away. I see the following choices before me: 1. Don't go to Colorado. Tell you guys that I'm a family man and not a company man. 2. Go to Colorado and fly home commercial on Friday night, leaving at about 4 PM. Incremental cost of flight would be $500. 3. Go to Colorado and fly home on the rented plane on early Saturday afternoon. Incremental cost of flight would be $7,000. 4. Don't go to wedding. Tell my wife that I'm a company man and that it is critical that I ride mountain bikes with a bunch of 30-something Enron folks all weekend. While I have authority to place millions of dollars of the company's money at risk, I don't feel comfortable signing up for a $7,000 extra flight without talking to you guys. #3, the jet set answer costs quite a bit more, but it dramatically increases the amount of time that I spend in Colorado. #2 is cost-effective but gives me less than 24 hours in Colorado. #4, while perhaps appealing to you, doesn't work for me. #2 is probably preferable to #1, just requires a lot of travel time to me. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
