The email and the intro to MM1 is good. The content is it’s strongest asset but the delivery is not as strong. You need a good editor when you get things going that will be able to keep you focused and help organize where the content should be. As powerful as your message is, it will be worthless if no one reads it.

 

As for reading, I personally don’t like the use of “Or” to transition from thoughts. If this is a novelty for attracting attention in the preface to the book or in the introduction to the author than I think it might be appropriate, but otherwise I would leave them out. This is your first book as far as I know and I have never written anything so take my opinion with a grain of salt…

 

An interesting possibly off topic possibly not… I love “sayings” and yesterday my uncle Pete told me a good one. I guess it was a quote from General Patton… “The only way to assure victory is to cut off all paths of retreat” now I might be paraphrasing but Pete told me this because of my constant turmoil in deciding what I want to do with my life (career wise).

 

Any way, I wish I had more time to help but in my journey to figure out the above mentioned, I have a few jobs to tend to.

 

Talk to you soon,
Adam

Glenn good morning – I was up rather early this morning doing the risk “assessemt” [sic] thing but soon ran into problems with my internet wireless connection, it seems there is a guiding force that prevents me from getting caught up in other peoples’ wars.

 

I decided to stop playing with the antennae and find some gain in putting down “on paper” the introduction to MM1 that I began thinking about when in Peru, see attached.

 

The Dow I believe is still above 10,000 any idea of what it will be if trading isn’t immediately suspended, worse yet if our GREAT GREAT President is not re-elected?

 

Take care, but don’t hold back on knocking the crap out of my flank if the introduction deserves being tossed in the wastepaper basket, my poor excuse of Pypeetoe keeping Marie and I up all last night his incessant barking no doubt falling on deaf ears.
