craig rutman: My Kingdom for a Real Estate Craig Bobble Head Doll!!! - 05/20/12 06:39 AM
Hey all, I'm totally booked solid this weekend showing homes to some great folks here in the Raleigh, Cary, Apex area. But I did have a few minutes late last night for some "me" time.

 
While "me" time is not a pretty sight, it is inspirational!
So, while playing around with Photoshop, listening to some music, and watching whatever sports were on TV, I came up with this little bit of silliness...
I call this one, "My Kingdom for a Real Estate Craig Bobble Head Doll"!!!

craig rutman: Happy Mother's Day! A Conversation With My Mom... - 05/13/12 06:11 AM
Happy Mother's Day!

Hi Mom,
What do you mean who is this?
It's your son, Craig. You know the one. I'm the guy who doesn't call you often enough. The one who doesn't tell you how much I appreciate all that you've done for me. The one who gets all weird and uncomfortable telling people, and you too, how much I love them.
Remember the last time I called? No? I do. When I asked how you were, you told me that you haven't eaten in three days. And when I asked why you said it was … (18 comments)

Well, I'm No George Clooney. But, You Are Cordially Invited...   The other night, actor George Clooney opened the doors of his home to some of Hollywood's biggest stars. The party was a fundraiser for President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign for re-election. Now I don't care if you're a Republican or Democrat; an Independent or a Communist. Well, actually I do, but I won't get into any politics here. That's not what this post is about. What this post is about is the cost of that little dinner bash... $40,000.00 a plate! That's FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS a plate folks! Well, I … (26 comments)

craig rutman: Maurice Sendak, Mischievous Max... and Me. - 05/10/12 06:18 AM
Maurice Sendak, Mischievous Max... and Me.

As you may or may not know, Maurice Sendak, author and illustrator of such books as "Where the Wild Things Are", "In the Night Kitchen" and "Chicken Soup With Rice" passed away a few days ago. He was 83. And he will be missed. Now I don't know about you, but I absolutely loved "Where the Wild Things Are", especially the illustrations. I remember reading that book a gazillion times as a child, and I can't help but to think that it was Sendak's illustrations that inspired me to draw, and now Photoshop. … (12 comments)

craig rutman: Happy Day AFTER Cinco de Mayo Mi Amigos! - 05/06/12 10:00 AM
Happy Day AFTER Cinco de Mayo Mi Amigos! Well, my dear readers, yesterday was Cinco de Mayo. But I was crazy busy and didn't get a chance to post this blog.
So... here it is the day AFTER!
All these years, I've always thought that the 5th of May was the official Mexican Independence Day, much like our 4th of July. But according to the web site History.com, the 5th of May is NOT Mexican Independence Day. It is, however, a day of celebration in Mexico and the United States as well. So no matter what the history books … (10 comments)

Back to School! Your Raleigh, Cary, Apex Area Real Estate Agent Will Be in Continuing Education Today...
Here in North Carolina, and many states throughout the United States, Real Estate agents are required to take mandatory continuing education classes. While many agents just take the minimum required courses, I have always had a thirst for knowledge, and often take more than what is required. I've always been a firm believer that the more you know, the better you can be. So, my phone will be off for a few hours as I'm going back to school! If you have any questions … (19 comments)
