This was a short meeting. I began by taking him through Norman’s’ business plan. His reaction was: What is it you really want to do. I told him. What follows is the Plan using our materials. I have left it in the format for presentation to my Vancouver Associates Balu Katey

The rest of the day I recuperated in bed from my squash game on Wednesday as I think I found out that I need more exercise in small doses to stay in balance. I did manage to receive an e-mail from Alan Barnett in England looking for some Christmas Cards. I sent him back a note informing him that I was working on such an item with Nancy Ryder. Will explore further. I also received an e-mail from NetNation, an internet provider hosting service that operates out of Vancouver. They have generously offered to host our site. I need to talk with them to find out what this means, and to Norman to determine if it fits in with his strategy. Saturday was also spent recuperating.
