This is too weird... it seems that every time I visit
Patti, she blogs about something going on in my life. WEIRD. I was thinking of blogging a post about alcohol, last week, she wrote about it... I was thinking about how now at 41, I am looking older, she writes it...and her most recent post; about the anniversary of the death of someone close, well, that's my life, too. It was the 9th anniversary of the death of my life long best friend and second cousin,
Debbie on September 21st...
Patti, how do you do that? One more thing, I remember well the Blizzard of 77' and have my own stories of that storm... Okay, two things... I Love Lucy, too.

LOSER
J.C. Penney, founder of the retail giant that bears
his name, once evaluated one of his young clerks,
stating he "wasn't thorough and wouldn't have much
of a future in the retail business." The employee?
Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart.
Despite Penny's hopeless prediction, Sam Walton
built the largest retail empire in the world over
the next thirty years. In 1999 Wal-Mart's revenues
of $137 billion were over four times as large as
J.C. Penny's.
The opinions of honest, well-intentioned people can
sometimes be off the mark. Don't let misguided
judgments keep you from pursuing your dreams.

NEVER GIVE UP
Perseverance is a solid base for success. Dismissed
from a major newspaper with the advice to try
something else because he had no talent, a young
man considered giving up. He didn't. His name --
Walt Disney.
