Welcome to Bellavia - A Better Place  Join us for part 2 of our conversation exploring The Good Life and The Myth of The American Dream with our special guests Paul Bushey and Rick Hawksley.  Paul will have another movie review and a book review for us.  We hope to hear from some of you who have seen the movie Paul recommended last week, The Lives Of Others.   Rick will be discussing good vacations and good motorcycles then see where the conversation goes.  The program will also cover current events since our last broadcast.  We promise to provide an informative and entertaining conversation and we appreciate your participation. Finally, over dinner tonight there was a very nice couple seated near our table at the restaurant.  I overheard the man say, "I told her if I gave her an inch she would think she was a ruler."  It seemed very funny to everyone, but I am not at all sure I undersood.  Could you call us and tell us what this means to you during the program?   My best regards, William Wilder 

Our program begins tonight with a candid look at The Myth of the American Dream and a conversation about what really is The Good Life. We will interview a special guest and get his thoughts on one vital component of living the good life - good vacations.  And we will invite him to share some of his Pearls of Wisdom with us. Of course we will also take your calls to hear your questions and comments concerning the good life.
