Potterers (think about it...)
Thanks for the run down on sailing films yesterday. We had a screening of
'High Society' here wherein Bing Crosby romances Grace Kelly on the True
Love. He sings and plays the accordian while she, dressed in a skirt and
blouse, swoons. The boat is apparently on auto... Good ol' movie anyway.
I just finished reading'The Perfect Storm'. I'm sure all of you have this
one on your shelf. I only wish I had read it before I wandered around
Gloucester one afternoon last June. Now that should be a film...
Harry Potter was mentioned several digests back as an good name for a
Potter. Haven't read him but the sales must be very high. Spoke to a lady
in SeaTac who was buying two different titles to keep up with her kids.
Need I remind you of another Potter, Stephen Potter. He was a writer and
broadcaster for the BBC just before and during WW2. However, his claim to
greatness, in my opinion, were the 'Gamesmanship' books; indeed, he is to
be credited for adding the term to our language.
Raining this morning in Osaka and typhoon Dan is working its way from the
Phillipines to China; should be here in 2 or 3 days.
