INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK
You gotta love this guy… “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” Albert Einstein
Merry Xmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. I’ll see with all bells ringing in 2012!
