An American consultant was at the pier of

An American consultant was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large Yellowfin Tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them…

The Mexican replied, “Only a little while. ” The American then asked, “Why don’t you stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said, “Well, I catch enough to feed my family. ”…

Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise. ”…

The American scoffed, “I am a Harvard graduate and could help you with a new Business Plan. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats.

The Mexican fisherman asked, “But senor, how long will this all take? ” To which the American replied, “ 15 -20 years to realize the business plan. ” “But what then, senor? ”…

The American laughed and said, “That’s the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions. ” “Millions, senor? Then what? ”…

The American said, “Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos. ”…

Larry is on his deathbed and his son comes to visit him for the last time. Daddy, what can I do for you?

Sam, what’s your Mama doing?

She’s in the kitchen making a big pot of gumbo!”

Larry managed to say, Go get me a bowl of gumbo, son.

The daughter leaves and comes back… Mama says the gumbo is for after the funeral.

Dream a Little Dream

Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you" Birds singing in the sycamore trees Dream a little dream of me

Say night and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me While I'm alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn dear Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn dear Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn dear Just saying this

Ba pa bada pa baba…

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are gray you'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms, but when I woke dear, I was mistaken, and I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are gray you'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.

You told me once dear you really loved me that no one else could come between but now you've left me and love another you have shattered all my dreams.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy, when skies are gray, you'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away. Please don’t take my sunshine away.
