In that is the case, perhaps it would be wise, "to dream and not make dreams your master".

Ed, you didn't say. Do you still want to own and operate a family resort in Northern Minnesota? Because if you do-- much as I want you to live in TV and for you and Mrs. Oldcoach to be our friends-- I want the Minn. family resort for you even more.
No Phyllis, I'm too old to take on the workload of a resort. One of the myths of people who go to resorts and dream of owning one is that they would be on vacation all the time. Well, I realized that was not the case because I had a close friend who owned one, and he worked like a farmer, sun up to sun down. Besides that, I have found the resort that I want to spend much of my time in and it is in Central Florida, not Minnesota. BTW, Lila and I and our three kids, spouses and six grandkids will all spend the first full week of August at a family resort in Minnesota, as we have for many years.
