"Wizard of Ads"...The Wizard of Ads series of books written by Roy H. Williams are basically about advertising (one of my interests) but what lies at the heart of effective advertising are the things that are most important in our everyday lives and these books are packed with fantastic wisdom. The website will allow you to subscribe to the "Monday Morning Memo" an email message from Mr. Williams each week with thoughts to ponder that are fascinating.

"Weird New Jersey"... Weird New Jersey started out years ago as a newsletter that revealed various strange and unusual sights and attractions around New Jersey also off-beat characters and folk-lore. It turns out that N.J. is so WEIRD that they are now able to produce 2 big magazines per year packed with amazing stories and photo's of the state that I grew up in. These guys are amazing ...they now have published books depicting the "weirdness" of several states and are currently working on their 2nd television special.

"Coast To Coast"...Okay this is the website for the national radio show "Coast to Coast" which discusses all of the things that are out of the ordinary. Everything from U.F.O.'s to Bigfoot to Ghosts and Conspiracies...no matter how "way out there" this place will give a listen with an open mind. Tons of great essays, articles, features and photo's.

"The Magic Nook" ... many people of all ages ask me how they can learn to become a magician. My first response is to hit the library and begin a serious study....my next is response to visit this site and you can purchase lessons from "The Wizards Journal" for a few bucks a piece...as many or as few as you wish.

One of my mentors, Jim Gerrish, runs this site and you are in good hands. You will be participating in a real learning experience. You must master one lesson before moving on to the next and I know that you will receive personalized help if you need it from the fine people who put this course together.

You really can't go wrong...you will be dealing with one of magic's most creative minds and also someone who has a passion for teaching and sharing.

"Chestnut Grove Resort" ... The Poconos Pa. leading family resort for over 50 years. Imagine... a real "family" vacation...one that is fun, relaxing and brings the family together for truly magical memories.

Very affordable!

For around $1,000.00 a family of four gets a full week in a private cabin with fireplace... nice, daily Breakfast and Dinner... daily, organized activities for kids and adults and nightly entertainment in the lounge...and so much more. ( you can spend more than that per day at many popular Northeast vacation spots fighting the stress and the crowds)

At Chestnut Grove...just check in and forget your problems...you can relax in the indoor or outdoor pool... go fishing in the pond...play ping-pong, pool, volleyball...arcade...paddle boats...Campfires, Sing-alongs, Hayrides, and Wienie Roasts. Stroll the grounds (20 acres) and enjoy the wonders of nature during the day and spectacular star-filled skies at night.

The grounds are big enough for fun yet not too big to allow the children to run free, make life-long friends. Adults can relax while the kids have a blast!

Many people have discovered this gem in the beautiful Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania and make it their place for family reunions year after year.

This is NOT one of the GLITZY resorts... this is run by family and is a family friendly place where you will forget stress, have fun and make memories to last a lifetime.

I love this place and I believe you will also. Give them a try and tell them that Stephen sent you.
