new homes in laguna beach: Holiday Peanuts (with apologies to Charles Schultz) - 12/16/07 02:29 PM
One of our continuing family traditions is to watch the Charlie Brown Christmas Special and, in a slightly more twisted bent, I'm proud to say that my daughter can quote almost every line from the National Lampoon Christmas Vacation movie. Chevy Chase's performance is definitely Oscar material in our household.
Of the two pieces, Charlie Brown, though somewhat dated, has the more wholesome sentiment with Charlie Brown decrying the commercialism of Christmas. Even his dog Snoopy, much to Charlie Brown's dismay, wins the annual house lighting competition by decorating his doghouse in grand style.
As a Realtor my favorite part is when Lucy tries to … (0 comments)

new homes in laguna beach: Orange County Real Estate - Laguna Playhouse - 11/26/07 11:31 PM
I admit it, I'm a closet country music fan. When I saw that The Laguna Playhouse was offering "Hank Williams: Lost Highway" I was drawn to it like sequins to a Nudie jacket. My lovely wife bought tickets and our close friends joined us for an evening of Hank.
The Laguna Playhouse is a small intimate theatre established over 85 years ago and has become one of the leading community theatres in the country. Located in Laguna Canyon next to the Festival of Arts, the Playhouse is a wonderful way to spend the evening and there is not a bad seat in the house. In fact, when the lights came up for the … (0 comments)

new homes in laguna beach: This Starbucks or the one across the street? - 11/19/07 04:21 PM
Like most agents, I prefer to have my clients ride along with me when we are looking at properties. It gives me a chance to get to know them and, in turn, it gives them a chance to get to know me. It may take a few of these outings for us to connect both with each other and with the right property.
Some clients insist in following in their own car, maybe they have a baby, small kids or a dog. One client brought her family and friends along to help look at homes. This isn't the ideal situation but I will usually print … (7 comments)

new homes in laguna beach: Who's the Boss? - 11/04/07 07:32 PM
I took my daughter to experience Bruce Springsteen at the venerable Los Angeles Sports Arena last week. I had promised her that if Bruce got back together with his group, the E Street Band, we would find a way to go. It was 27 years ago that my wife and I saw Bruce prove it all night in the same arena and left feeling exhilarated. The Boss still pours as much ragged passion as humanly possible into his performance. For those that haven't witnessed him live the shows are equivalent to a good old fashioned tent revival - always impassioned, articulate … (2 comments)
