Expanding my knowledge
Topic: Library
Hello all!

Victoria (my youngest daughter) took this picture of me after my two to three hour routine of reading in my study.

You can see that after a while... reading material can overwhelm anyone.

Jay Abraham is one of my favorite authors.

This is my third reading of his book "Getting all you can out of all you've got".

Forgive the mounds of stuff... I am a pack rat.

I am in the writing stage of creating my official web site.

Angelfire.com has been a good learning tool for getting used to creating and updating web based materials.

I will let you know when I have my own domain up and running.

Until next time... I am... and will always be... Frank

2007 Mardi Gras in Mobile Alabama
Topic: Mardi Gras
Hello everyone!

It is the end of the Mardi Gras season here in Mobile, Alabama.

Here is a picture Victoria (my youngest daughter) took of me sitting next to the stone cross in Bienville Square.

You can see there are lots of people enjoying Mardi Gras in the historic downtown park.

Fat Tuesday is the last day of the two week plus celebration Mobile has been celebrating since before New Orleans ever thought about doing it.

I guess Mardi Gras was Mobile's gift to New Orleans many years ago.

New Orleans is famous for getting Mardi Gras known internationally.

Their population has always been greater than Mobile.

I understand that New Orleans is rebuilding as quickly as they can.

If you did not know any better... you would not believe that San Francisco had to start over and rebuild after that catastophic earthquake they had over a hundred years ago too.

Well... happy Mardi Gras and I will see you next time.

I am and will always be... Frank

Automatic Wealth for Grads
Topic: Library
Hello everyone!


I was happy to see Michael Masterson quoted me in today's issue of Early-To-Rise e-zine.

Here is what he published:


"Reader Feedback: "When Michael Masterson published his book for grads ... I just had to buy it for my daughter."


My daughter read Automatic Wealth: The Six Steps to Financial Independenceand loved it! (Even though she said Mr. Masterson sounded too arrogant. I told her he was only giving out advice that worked for him to build his own wealth.)


So ... when Michael Masterson published Automatic Wealth for Grads…and Anyone Else Just Starting Out, I just had to buy it for my daughter. I gave it to her for her 19th birthday, a couple of days ago, and she told me last night that she was getting more out of this book than the first one.


I have to admit that I snuck a peek at her book before I gave it to her. I thought it had more detailed information than the original version. Masterson breaks down his information in easy-to-follow steps and descriptions. Now I will have to buy it for my own library!

Remembering David Robert Coley, III.
Topic: Memories
I was sorry to see in today's Mobile Press Register yesterday's passing of David Coley.

I had the honor of meeting and briefly working with him many years ago.

He was looking for someone to draw a couple of houses he wanted to build to sell.

He was a respected attorney in Mobile and was a pleasure to work with.

Everytime I drive pass one of the houses, I think of how nice he was to work with.

My heart and prayers go out to him and his family.

I am sure he will be missed by all who met him.

My memory of him and his kind spirit will live with me until it is my time to leave this earth and join the spirit world.

Until next time... I am and will always be... Frank
