The Monday Morning Memo

I Did Not Make It Up.

London Bridge spanned the Thames in London until it was purchased by
Robert McCulloch in 1967, dismantled, moved and reassembled in
Lake Havasu City, Arizona. He purchased the bridge to serve as a
tourist attraction for his real estate development for retired people. 
The idea was successful, bringing thousands of interested tourists and retirement home buyers to the area.

It is a lifelong dream of Wizard Academy Cognoscenti Michael Bettersworth to sit on that bridge under the stars at midnight and sing “London Bridge is falling down” while drinking Celtic ale with a large group of friends. I understand that plans for this excursion are currently underway. Want to go? The great Steve Rae has expressed an interest, which was heightened consideraby when Michael agreed that the ale could be Scottish. Steve and his guitar, you know, have a 12-year history of leading late night sing-alongs at Wizard Academy.

Random Quote:

“A man is sitting in a tavern in Damascus. He looks up from his wine and sees Death staring at him across the room. He cries out, ‘But this cannot be my time!’ He flees Damsacus. He rides his horse fast across the desert to Samarra. When he arrives, he’s thirsty. Standing before him at the well is Death. Upon seeing Death for the second time, the man cries out, ‘This cannot be! For I escaped you in Damascus!’ Death lays his hand upon the shoulder of the man and says, ‘I, also, was surprised to see you in Damascus, for my appointment with you was always to be here, in Samarra.’”
