But for real. Congrats and best of luck. Good VPs are hard to find. (Almost as hard as unicorn horns). They'll be lucky to have you and I wish you the best.

oh the joys of h-town traffic, prayers lifted for you brother. Im sure you know, but when you land this, spend a full day on surveillance of the traffic patterns around the office BEFORE you decide where to go home hunting. One mile either direction can mean a 45 minute difference in travel time. We moved our condo in houston when the comapny moved the office ( xo worls out of offices in several cities, but we kept a condo in houston for a couple of years). while the offices were equidistant from the condo, the travel time difference was over 30 minutes each way.
Dont trust the realtor to know this, they drive everywhere and dont really consoder the nightmare that is houston traffic. It rivals i35 austin traffic with the construction…….Only everywhere, one every loop and tollway.
Oh, and the Constable offices positively own all the tollways, so have a get out of jail free card, or dont push the speed limit on them, just friendly advice from someone in a mandated class with most of the constables in the state, and their discussions of how much traffic revenue drives their budget, specifically from houston, amd the tollways.NEVER CONFUSE GETTING LUCKY WITH GOOD TACTICS (unless you are at the bar)

Exciting news, Jack- get some!
This is very true; I always seem to learn the hard way and have contributed more than my fair share of revenue from that damned tollway…
