No, $400 isn't enough to retire on, but yes, it will buy several very nice meals here in Tallinn.

Would you like a suggestion? Try "Grill Tondi" for a nice, fairly inexpensive meal. It is not touristy, but has some really good food. My favorite place in town. If you are taking a cab, just tell them you want to go to "Tondi Selver". It is in the same parking lot. I recommend the kanafilee (chicken breast) or veisefilee (beef filet). But everything I have ever had there was pretty good.

Of course you can always eat at the other places where the tourists go. The food there is usually OK, just expensive and not great.

I write all of this with the understanding you will be in Estonia at some point. That is what your post seemed to indicate.

Making money on a movie titled The Prophet would defeat the purpose of it's philosophy.

 

Tell that to Mel Gibson.

 

Oh my, I get upset when others use it's for its and now I see I did it too. Shame on me!

 

I didn't say it couldn't be done, I said it would defeat the purpose.

Besides, Mel defeated the purpose simply by using editorial license to present the last days of Jesus.

 

I read The Profit a few years ago... came across it in my Dad's bathroom, and wound up chuckling my way through it....

The purported author of "The Profit" is spelt Kehlog Albran.

Right you are (and why would you know that?). But orignally it was "Kellogg Allbran," and when the folks in Battle Creek got wind of it, they sent some sort of cease and desist message.

(I was writing for Price/Stern/Sloan around the time they published The Profit--seven little gift books and one real book--but not The Profit, which I believe was their #3 alltime bestseller (after 'How to Be a Jewish Mother' and 'Shelley Berman's Cleans and Dirties' -- which does not include their main breadwinners, the Mad Lib books.)

 

I do that all the time as well. And yet I know the proper rule; I know it cold. Just an old habit.

 

Hi, I just received a catatlog from The Teaching Company which offers non-credit, but some excellent looking (I have not taken any I have to note) courses on a variety of topics presented by some very credentialed teachers/professors.

One I noticed in this issue is The Life and Writings of C.S. Lewis. Very inexpensive, $24.95 for 12, 30 minute lectures.

As others have noted, there is a lot free materials out there; but just wanted to mention this while it was fresh on my mind.

 

Welcome aboard! Yes, that outfit has quite a number of taped lectures--great for in-car listening, etc. It's a good resource and the two or three sets I've heard were well done.
