“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”.

Little something to ponder before going to sleep.

I sold off the remainder of my gg and a small portion of my ten-bagger Exellon Resources earlier this week for conversion to the real thing. I could second guess over-n-over but the deed is done. I might have to work ’till I’m ninety-nine to feed the family but if Farmboy needs a loan I can always lease out a coin. I’m slowly trading leverage for poundage. There isn’t any puffing wind in this homestead but there ain’t no rose colored retirement on the horizon neither.

Trading leverage for the real thing…. If you wait too late then it might all be lost.  If you convert too early then you might suffer opportunity cost.  Take your pick.  Then have a swiss chard and sweet potato dinner with sweet white wine and don’t worry.  Be happy.

Congrats Irish and Ms. Irish… Anything you need, call us and we will support you however we can.

Where the heck is Abbyville , near Tottsville?          

Would be ‘fine’ w/me.

Thanks for the suggestion and generous offer.  I’ll check back a little later and put together the poll.    I think I’ll set it up so that you can vote for up to 2 locations.  I’m considering setting it up for only registered users so that we don’t get a bunch of guests voting who aren’t really serious about coming.  I figure if you’re serious enough of setting up a handle, then you are probably serious enough w/r/t showing up.  Everybody is welcome of course.

How about Vancouver BC   

I’d volunteer to be part of the planning committee..AuGirl 

He’s just being EE.. a big kid that never grew up.. 

Hope you can make it to the GoldTent $1,000 Party…would love to meet you.

Sounds great.  Let’s get a couple of more suggestions and we’ll rock and roll.

I’ll be honest, I’m a terrible planner.  Anyone who likes to plan and is good at it should step forward and take the lead….I am not a natural for that event stuff.   I’m sure several of you could form a good committee and keep us posted on the board.

This is what I am seeing in reguards to TRE, short term to long term. I must say it is still looking pretty good IMHO.
All the best…Rambus

Hell, you can clean out your ‘wine cellar’ and BUY the damn island!!!

Jekyll Island would be my vote, too.
