Goodbye 04-05-05
One nice thing resulting from "The Boron Letters" is, he
(Bond) has already started writing letters to his own
daughter and son... even though... they are not yet old
enough to read them. Even so, one day he will have a
treasure trove of wit and wisdom to give them and leave as
his legacy.
What we have started here is, I believe, a new family
tradition.
I
never wanted Bond to get a college education because I think
they are basically worthless. But he did get one any way
(without my help). He has a degree in International Business
Administration. One of the things I'm very proud of, is Bond
has said to several people he learned more in a half day
hanging out with his father than he did in all his years
spent at college.
And for what it's worth, Bond said I should tell all my
readers he is pretty much satisfied with the father he
has... so... he's not shopping around for another one.
On
the other hand, Bond has done something to disgrace the
Halbert family name. As far as I know, no Halbert male
(before Bond) ever married a woman... unless... that woman
was pregnant. After all...
What Would Be The Point?
In
Bond's case, he not only married his wife when she was not
pregnant, but they actually practiced planned parenthood.
Bond and his wife had their children when circumstances
dictated it would actually be the best time to start and
then continue their family. (Did those last few remarks piss
anyone off? I hope they did. Because I need reassurance I'm
the same old Gary Halbert I used to be.)
I've got a lot more to write in this newsletter but I'm
going to stop for now. I'm tired. And I still have to put
the finishing touches on a piece of marketing I just wrote
for a client.
So, fear not, my little website newsletter reader. You can
come back to my website tomorrow (Wednesday) and read Part
II of this particular newsletter. I hope you do that. I
think you'll find it interesting.
To be continued...
Sincerely,
Gary C. Halbert
