[Rhodes22-list] Instructional Videos

[Bob Weber]

Lou, Thanks for the info.  I don't know how much value this would add to my 
program and whether I would be likely to recoop it in a higher price.  I may 
see what is already available on the market.  As far as blonds, I seemed to 
have struck a nerve.  I am not a Blond-a-phob more of a Blond-a-phile.  I 
just find it more fair (in what ever force gives balance in life) that if 
you are graced with good looks that you should lack skills or smarts.  There 
are plenty out there with both, and they know enough to stay away from the 
likes of me.  Bob
