"Since I Don't Have You"
There's one misnomer about story telling, and it is the thought that  "minor characters" in a story are all but nonessential. I've found that without the minor characters, the story will be weak; in fact, sometimes not a story at all. Following that one lesson is what often separates good tales from bad ones.
And that's the way it is with the story of the famous rhythm and blues concerts that public television has been using for … (2 comments)

BIG MAMA BROUGHT ME A REMINDER - 06/27/07 10:16 PM
They call our friend's mother Big Mama.  It's one of those ironies that I can't figure out.  Big Mama is about 5'5" in heels and has never weighed in at more than 120 lbs.  Nevertheless, she's called Big Mama and she's now in her 90s.
In the past several weeks, I've watched from the sidelines as Big Mama has fallen into some serious health issues, and it reminded me of what I experienced with my own aging mother and our little toy fox terrier, Emmie Lou.  They got elderly together.  And their symptoms seemed to run parallel.
While it's on my mind, … (4 comments)

RE/MAX's Willie Payne & the Famous Himalayan Singing Kitten Enterprise - 06/25/07 03:04 PM

          {---RE/MAX GALVESTON'S WILLIE PAYNE
Willie Payne is the owner of the Re/Max office in Galveston, Texas, and he is the absolute most noted authority on Galveston's famous resort home living, in my opinion. 
And he should be, for after all, he was selling and promoting the real estate around the Galveston Country Club long before the rich and famous started buying there. We're talking about thirty years. He's a Galveston character.
Ask him what he does in his spare time, and he'll proudly tell you he's a member of … (3 comments)

SO YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF A CONTRACT, DO YOU? - 06/23/07 09:11 AM
Fellow Active Rain blogger, John Elwell of Bill Nye's Century 21 office in Zephyrhills, Florida, made an interesting comment to one of the people who wrote and asked the question, "How can I get out of a contract?"  John noted that it is a question that seems to be posed here very frequently, and John's observation is right.
I'm one of those who doesn't understand the concept of not doing what a person says he'll do.  So I frankly hate reading that question because more often than not, it means someone is letting the world know he's a weasel.

American Home Shield and the Home Warranty Business - Should I or Shouldn't I? - 06/18/07 09:35 AM
For a number of years -- at least 10 -- I have encouraged my selling clients to throw in a free home warranty from one of the warranty companies like American Home Shield.  It seemed to be both a good marketing strategy for the seller and as a help against the possibilities of disclosure disagreements and lawsuits after closing.
It didn't take long doing this that I sold myself that an American Home Shield warranty on our personal home might be just the thing to do, so I bought and the company started drafting my bank account every month for the premium...about $45, … (43 comments)

THE OLEANDER - IT CAME TO AMERICA VIA GALVESTON ISLAND - 06/15/07 02:01 PM
From the early-1800s, the north side of the entrance to Galveston (Broadway) was owned by those who were in the cotton packing and shipping business.
In 1841, a Galveston import merchant named Joseph Osterman brought a small oleander bush from the Mediterranean to his sister. She planted it in her yard, and before long it was a plush bush covered from head to toe with small pink flowers.
George Sealy, owner the Cotton Concentration Company, and his wife lived just up the street from Joseph Osterman's sister.  If you've been to Galveston, you know the Sealy's home.  It's the imposing mansion called … (3 comments)

Pourquoi est-ce que je n'ai jamais de vos nouvelles? - 06/14/07 01:18 PM
Je veux une note!
Translation:  Why don't I ever hear from you?  I want a note!
Someone needs to explain to me why it has apparently become socially acceptable to ignore writing handwritten notes to friends, clients, thoughtful people, and those who have done something special for you.
Years ago, when I decided I was going to open a real estate office, from Galveston I phoned Ebby Halliday to ask for her advice.  Why Ebby Halliday?  I had known her since my college days (Note: I was a student and she had already been in business for twenty years), and had long concluded that any woman … (10 comments)

WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD NOTICE ABOUT DALLAS' FAMOUS NORTHPARK - 06/12/07 09:41 PM
                                             
                                   20 elements, 2005, Joel Shapiro, Nordstrom Court 
Dallas' famous NorthPark shopping center is the largest indoor mall in Texas and it's no less than the fifth largest in the United States.
It was built on leased land and opened in 1965, and that might not have happened had Raymond Nasher, an apartment developer with no experience whatsoever with developing shopping malls, not convinced Stanley Marcus and the Marcus family to relocate their Neiman-Marcus satellite store there.

MEET ME ON THE WEB AT WWW.BILLCHERRYBROKER.COM 
In Texas, when you borrow money to buy real estate, the lender and you (with your downpayment and his loan) buy the property.  The lender agrees to give his part all to you when you finish making all of your payments to him.  You agree to keep the property in good repair and to make all of your payments.
You and the lender join in a document called a deed of trust.  The actual ownership of the property is transferred to the trust.  A third person is appointed by you and the lender to be the … (0 comments)

If you're old enough to remember World War II, and your daddy had a car that he wasn't afraid to take out on the two lane highway to Grandma's house in Louisiana, you remember the Burma Shave signs.
They were a set of three single signs stuck in the ground along the highway, two of which made up a clever poetic couplet.  The third always said, "BurmaShave." Here's one:

About twenty-five years ago, my childhood friend Jasper Tramonte stopped in to see me one day.  He had been working in computer programming and as a corporate efficiency expert for a long time by then.  But that had taken him into northern climates, and we Galvestonians just can't seem to get past having the Gulf of Mexico to look at, and the smell of sand, sea and Coppertone-oiled girls in bikinis.  And a drop in temperature to 60 degrees isn't our idea of a … (3 comments)
