Hi Coach:

You will have to excuse me for being more than thick; I have a miserable cold and besides it has decided to be winter here in
southern Ontario in March of all damn times, making getting around nigh on possible, Complain, complain, complain, Presently the
Beatles “White Album” is on the stereo and I am mellowing out.

“When you give up escaping from that reality, and experience it, and *understand* it, you will become vastly freer and more
powerful in all of the undertakings that you like and love. Give up "that fantasy" —you know the fantasy I mean — and you will
have a huge amount of freed-up energy suddenly at your disposition, that was all being wasted before!”

Give up what fantasy? I have more fantasies than the fiction department of the local library.

You are going to have to spell this out in Black and White as an observation and be as brutal as you need be.

Douglas, listening to “My Guitar Gently Weeps”.

I failed to mention that your guidance is always appreciated and I am more than in your debt. By the by, how do I repay you for
gratitude via words seems hardly recompensence.
