Default Taking a break....

Hi Gordon!

Is this Elmer Gantry and Elmer Wheeler?

I bought myself a copy of Elmer Gantry because I couldn't find a copy of it at the local video rental place.... It's a great movie! Burt Lancaster sure is bursting with PASSION! I think it's time to watch it again.... :)

I still haven't seen "The Music Man" yet, because the local video rental places don't have that either.... I may have to order in a copy of that too....

Gordon, you've also given me good reading too! (And Michael has as well....) I got a copy of "Secret Formulas of the Wizard of Ads" (the only "Wizard" book the local bookstore had in stock) and also the latest "Rich Dad" book, but I'm still finishing off three other books I'm now reading first.... :)

I remember eating at the Sheraton overlooking the falls with you and Rick. It's a great restaurant! :)

The view is wonderful.... I think it's an ideal place to ponder (or discuss) things over a meal or a snack....

I can imagine! Although when I visited you Gordon, it was late May (I think), I can imagine it would also be stunningly beautiful in winter....

I agree, I think water is a kind of "magical" substance.... Not only is it necessary for life, but in so many forms - as snowflakes, as ice crystals, as waterfalls and cascades, as ocean waves, or even as a calm lake or ocean surface, stretching as far as the eye can see - it is stunning and beautiful....

Gordon, I took your advice yesterday. I took a break and went to a place close-by where I could have a snack and could look out over a nice view.... Anyhow, it was great, I wrote down some good ideas (which had been in the back of my mind for a while).... But it was very good and something I needed to do.

Thanks for your advice, it was the right advice at the right time.... :)
