Wireman wasn't at the morning-after breakfast, but
he had reserved the Bay Island Room from eight to
tenI presided over two dozen friends and family
members, most from MinnesotaIt was one of those
events people remember and talk about for decades,
partly because of encountering so many familiar
faces in an exotic setting, partly because the
emotional atmosphere was so volatileOn the one hand, there was a very palpable sense
of Home Town Boy Makes GoodThey had sensed it at
the show, and their judgment was confirmed in the
morning papersThe reviews in the Sarasota Herald
Tribune and the Venice Gondolier were great, but
shortMary Ire's piece in the Tampa Trib, on the
other hand, took up nearly a whole page and was
lyricalShe must have written most of it ahead of
timeShe called me "a major new American talent
My mother - always a bit of a sourpuss - would
have said, Take that and a dime and you can wipe
your ass in comfortOf course that was her saying
forty years ago, when a dime bought more than it
does todayElizabeth, of course, was the other handThere
was no death-notice for her, but a boxed item had
772
been added to the page of the Tampa paper carrying
Mary's review: WELL-KNOWN ART PATRON STRICKEN AT
FREEMANTLE SHOWThe story, just two paragraphs
long, stated that Elizabeth Eastlake, a long-time
fixture on the Sarasota art scene and resident of
Duma Key, had suffered an apparent seizure not
long after arriving at the Scoto Gallery and had
been taken by ambulance to Sarasota Memorial
HospitalNo word of her condition was available
at press timeMy Minnesota people knew that on the night of my
triumph, a good friend had diedThere would be
bursts of laughter and occasional raillery, then
glances in my direction to see if I mindedBy
nine-thirty, the scrambled eggs I'd eaten were
sitting like lead in my stomach, and I was getting
one of my headaches - the first in almost a monthI excused myself to go upstairsI'd left a small
bag in the room I hadn't slept inThe shaving kit
contained several foil packets of Zomig, a
migraine medicationIt wouldn't stop a full-blown

@@@@@We have all heard stories of a businessman
@@@@@We have all heard stories of a businessman who works hard to earn moneyHe works hard to be a good provider for his wife and childrenHe spends long hours at the office and brings work home on weekendsOne day he comes home to an empty houseHis wife has left with the kidsHe knew he and his wife had problems, but rather than work to make the relationship strong, he stayed busy at workDismayed, his performance at work slips and he loses his jobToday, I often meet people who are too busy to take care of their wealthAnd there are people too busy to take care of their healthThe cause is the sameThey're busy, and they stay busy as a way of avoiding something they do not want to faceNobody has to tell themIn fact, if you remind them, they often respond with anger or irritationIf they aren't busy at work or with the kids, they're often busy watching TV, fishing, playing golf or shoppingYet, deep down they know they are avoiding something important That's the most common form of lazinessLaziness by staying busySo what is the cure for laziness? The answer is a little greedFor many of us, we were raised thinking of greed or desire as bad"Greedy people are bad people," my mom use to sayYet, we all have inside of us this yearning to have nice things, new things or exciting thingsSo to keep that emotion of desire under control, often parents found ways of suppressing that desire with guilt"You only think about yourselfDon't you know you have brothers and sisters?" was one of my mom's favoritesOr "You want me to buy you what?" was a favorite of my dad

@@@@@ He was a man who did his own thinking and detested the words, "We have to do it this way because that's the way everyone else does it He also hated the word "can't If you wanted him to do something, just say, "I don't think
you can do it
Mike and I learned more sitting at his meetings than we did in all our years of school, college includedMike's dad was not school educated, but he was financially educated and successful as a result He use to tell us over and over again "An intelligent person hires people who are more intelligent than they are So Mike and I had the benefit of spending hours listening to and, in the process, learning From
intelligent peopleBut because of this, both Mike and I just could not go along with the standard dogma that our teachers preached, And that caused the problemsWhenever the teacher said, "If you don't get good grades, you won't do well in the real world," Mike and I just raised our eyebrowsWhen we were told to follow set procedures and not deviate from the rules, we could see how this schooling process actually discouraged creativityWe started to understand why our rich dad told us that schools were designed to produce good employees instead of employersOccasionally Mike or I would ask our teachers how what we studied was applicable, or we asked why we never studied money and how it workedTo the later question, we often got the answer that money was not important, that if we excelled in our education, the money would followThe more we knew about the power of money, the more distant we grew from the teachers and our classmatesMy highly educated dad never pressured me about my grades But we did begin to argue about moneyBy the time I was 16, I probably had a far better foundation with money than both my mom and dad I could keep books, I listened to tax accountants, corporate attorneys, bankers, real estate brokers, investors and so forth My dad talked to teachersOne day, my dad was telling me why our home was his greatest investmentA not-too-pleasant argument took place when I showed him why I thought a house was not a good investmentThe following diagram illustrates the difference in perception between my rich dad and my poor dad when it came to their homesOne dad thought his house was an asset, and the other dad thought it was a liabilityI remember when I drew a diagram for my dad showing him the direction of cash flow

brick mansion and taught school in mens gucci watches its beautiful ballroomCarreen was
radiantly happy in her vocation, so changed from the quiet, withdrawn
girl Scarlett remembered that she didn't seem like the same person at
allHow could she be angry with a stranger? Especially a stranger

only Suellen was half as nice, she thought, she wouldn't feel so shut
out at TaraIt was a positive pleasure to visit Carreen and take tea
in the lovely formal garden at the convent, even if Carreen did talk so

voice returned"I didn't," said Scarlett, "but I know I wouldn't have
a baby if you hadn't stopped that monster woman from killing herI

After that, he escorted the doddering saintly old man to Kennedy's bar
where he bought a few rounds for all there in honor of the occasionHe hoped against hope that it would stop the rumors that were already
flying all over County MeathJoe O 'Neill, the blacksmith, had
cowered in a corner of Ballyhara's kitchen until daylight, then
scuttled to his smithy to drink himself brave"Though Saint Patrick himself would have needed more than all the
prayers at his beckoning on that night," he told anyone who would
listen, and there were many"Ready was I to save the life of The
O'Hara when the witch come through the stone wall and throws me
with
terrible force onto the floorThen kicks me-and I could feel in my
flesh that the foot was no human foot but a cloven hoofShe cast a
spell on The O'Hara then and ripped the babe from the wombAll bloody was the babe, and blood on the floors and the walls and in
the airA lesser man would have sheltered chanel clutch his eyes from such a
fearful
sightBut Joseph O'Neill saw the babe's fine strong form beneath the
blood, and I'm telling you it was a manchild, with manhood plain
between its limbs"'I'll wash the blood away,' says the demon, and
she turns her back, then presents to Father O 'Hara a spindly frail
near-lifeless creature-lemale and brown as the earth of the graveNow
who will tell me? If I didn't see a changeling, what was it I saw that
terrible night? There's no good will come of it, not to The O'Hara nor
any man who's touched by the shadow of the fairy babe left in place of
The O'Hara's stolen boy
* * The story from Dunshaughlin got to Ballyhara after a weekThe O'Hara was dying, said the midwife, and could only be saved by
ridding her of the dead babe in her wombWho would know these
things,
pitiful though they were, better than a midwife who'd seen all there
was to see of childbirth? Of a sudden the suffering mother sat up on
her bed of pain"I see it," says she, "the banshee! Tall white prada bag and clad
all in white with the fairy beauty on its face Then the devils drove
a spear from Hell through the window and the banshee flew out to wail
the call to deathIt was calling the soul of the lost babe, but the
dead babe was restored among the living by sucking out the soul of
the
good old woman who was grandmother to The O'HaraIt was the
devil's
work and no mistaking and the babe The O'Hara takes for her own is
nought but a ghoul"I feel that I should warn Scarlett," Colum said
to Rosaleen Fitzpatrick, "but what can I tell her? That people are
superstitious? That All Hallows' Eve is a dangerous birth date for a
baby? I cannot find any advice to give her, there's no way to protect
the baby from talk

nothing enters this house unless I say so, and no harm will come near
that tiny childTalk will be forgotten in time, Colum, you know
thatSomething else will come along to weave tales about and everyone will
see that Katie's only a little rolex submariner 50th anniversary girl like any other little girlFitzpatrick took a tray of tea and sandwiches to
Scarlett's room and stood patiently while Scarlett bombarded her with
the same plaint she'd been making for days"I don't see why I have
to
stay stuck up here in this room foreverI feel plenty well enough to
be up and aboutLook at the lovely sunshine today, I want to take
Katie out for a ride in the trap, but the best I can do is sit by the
window and look out at the leaves fallingI'm sure she's watchingHer eyes look up and then follow them floating down- Oh, look! Come
