The quote book is awesome. I need to bring it up to my new office. I also need to get a photo of Walt to hang on the wall, next to my wife and kids :D:

Marion still tell you to "Hush?" :D: If I send you my Famous Quotes book do you have someone to read it to you? :p: & will you return it in less than 11 months? Hey, just asking. ;)

While we're on the topic of inspiration...there's a great lecture I watched a while back. It was by Randy Pausch, "The Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo

I wish I had the time to read more books...I will do some research to find out if those are available as audio books...then I can listen to them when I drive down from CT for my CP. Reading a book while driving can be difficult... :eek:

I ordered be like Walt as well as Walt Disney, an American Original and they finally showed up today. Looking forward to both (thanks for the suggestion!)

Loved the last lecture. I caught it on PBS when flipping once. (OK, I saw the nametag on the speaker and knew it was Disney. That's what got me to stop). GREAT speech.
