Uncle Fester Joins The 100,000 Points Club! - 03/19/07 05:59 PM
I'll probably live, but something has gotten the best of me. I believe it was some sort of spinach dip I had at a party saturday.  It's been awhile since I have been this sick. I actually had a listing appointment at 10:30 yesterday and showed two homes at 2:30.  I knew something was wrong on the way home.  I even ran a red light to get home.  It was a long night and I now look like Uncle Fester and a little wrung out.  (That mascara migrated with the all night sweats!)
A lot of Active Rainers have posted a milestone post for hitting … (59 comments)

This was the inaugural race for the Susan B. Komen foundation in SW Florida at Coconut Point Mall.  The turnout was huge.  Mammoth.  I couldn't find the rest of the runners and limpers that I knew.  I ended up running until I caught one of them with about 1K to go.

Bonita Springs Florida Real Estate: 31 Realtors vs. The Cyber Realtor - 03/15/07 07:05 PM
Today I attended an appraisal of one of my listings.  It was that little cutie in Bonita Fairways.  The condo complex is really called Rosewood Pointe, but it is next to and confused with another condo complex called Bermuda Links.  People think they're one and the same, even me at first. 
I met the appraiser at the home today we spoke a bit about how the Bonita Springs real estate market was.  You know, the usual chit chat.  She has actually been busy.  It's not a deluge, but consistant.  I shared with her that I had activity, too.  She then explained to me that she has … (26 comments)

Bonita Beach - Barefoot Beach - Bonita Springs Florida - 03/12/07 06:52 AM

Caution: Shameless beach promotion. 
In an effort to quit taking our beautiful beach for granted I made the trek, a whopping 3 miles to the beach to catch the sunset last night. 
It's the height of tourist season, so it wasn't as easy as it sounds.  There's only one road to Bonita Beach and I wasn't the only one with this brilliant idea. 
My beach of choice is at the south end of Barefoot Beach, the state park with the toroise preserve.  It's a great park with restroom and shower facitilites, a snack bar, kayak and canoe rentals and of course the … (13 comments)

 Home of the Florida Everblades - Germain Arena - Estero Florida
The fun part:  I finally made it to a Florida Everblades game this season.  Unfortunately, they lost 2-5 against the Pensacola Ice Pilots.  Better luck next time 'Blades.  I had a blast, none the less.  The mayor of "Everblades City", Bob Tomasso, was in attendance with his lovely wife Robin.  Their legion of fans stops in to see them at every intermission.  It's almost like a receiving line at a wedding. 
Long story short I didn't make it home until almost 2:00 AM, and with the time change I feel like I was run … (12 comments)

This morning I stopped by to take a few photos at the Relay For Life®.  It was held at the Bonita Springs YMCA on East Terry Street.  For the record, I actually had customers to work with this morning so I did not participate with the Bonita Springs Association of Realtors.  My daughter, Jennafer, was participating with her fellow members of the National Honor Society of Estero High School.  Her camera malfunction and she begged me to stop by and take pictures.  (I think she knows I always have my camera for blogging.)  So I swung by and snapped a few photos … (14 comments)
