What the heck am I doing here?

Well, do ya!?We're truly in a brave new world when a robot, even a robot dog, can dance better than I can.  Well, to be honest that really isn't difficult to do, since I was born with two left feet.  I was never much of a dancer.But now, after viewing this video, I feel even less adept.  Oh, well...

Today was Friday the 13th.   It's a day that strikes fear into the hearts of the superstitious.  I always wanted a super power, but superstitious-man wasn't a good sound, to me. How did your Friday the 13th go?  Did you stay inside, hiding under a ladder with your black cat, or didst thou venture...

I showed a property, today, to a young couple.As we left the last house, on our way home. My client called me to tell me that someone had left them the dreaded note on their windshield.  It said "Alan, I'm sorry I bumped your car" and it was signed by a Realtor who I knew.I stopped the car, and l...

this is one of my world-favourite songs from way back into the smoke-filled rooms of my youth.In my opinion, it's one of Bob Marley's best, and poignant and signficant, and this is a beautiful version.  Please enjoy.If you are unfamiliar with the song ... here is the original, too, for your enjoy...

A little after 9:00 this morning, I had a flurry of texts, emails and phone calls.  The gist of all of that communication was that I had been hacked.Somehow, someway someone had hacked their way into my email.  I am very careful not to click on unknown links, nor to respond to unknown emails, so ...

In a recent online conversation, one of Active Rain's regulars told us that his MLS systems were combining, allowing him to potentially list a property 4-5 hours drive away from his home base.This, of course, opened up the conversation into "just how far would you go" to service your sellers/buye...

Recently Active Rain has become a little bit of a colourful greasy spoon, with all the food being bandied about.  Pricing like potato chips?  Scrambling some eggs, the devil's avocado.  All colourful phrases, no?I love all of the above.  Potato chips, I still haven't met a bag I haven't liked and...

This single-take drone video is taking the world by storm.It's an amazing inside out view of a Minnesota Bowling alley, showing you more than you probably wanted to see.  Over under around and through.  Make sure you've taken your dramamine before clicking "play".  This is like watching a roller ...
