Coming Home is Hard - 07/28/11 10:15 PM
Coming Home is HardWe all know that coming home sometimes is the hardest thing we do.    Summer is the time of vacations, camps, special family times, etc.....    Away we go after having anticipated the trip for probably 4-5 months, if not a year or more.   Then in the blink of an eye, it's over.   All of that anticipation, organization, thought, effort to get there, rearranging of schedules, coverage for work,  - it's over in a blink.     Did  you enjoy every moment like you should?   Did you live life like there was no tomorrow?   We just spent a week with my son … (17 comments)

It was so much fun following Tyler Stewart on her progress around the Ironman course today at Lake Placid.    She is just so totally unbelievable to watch!!!!    We had so much fun running from spot to spot and cheering her on. 

What a great thrill to watch her run across the finish line in third place as a professional in a race that takes over nine hours for the pros!!!!     

We are heading back down to the finish line now at late evening to cheer on the … (16 comments)

Tyler Stewart out of the Water and Starting the Bike at the Lake Placid Ironman 2011! - 07/24/11 09:46 AM
Tyler Stewart out of the Water and Starting the Bike at the Lake Placid Ironman 2011!
 
Tyler Stewart is coming out of the water and starting her bike in the 8th position for the women professionals.    Her strength is the biking and running, so the other women will see her breathing down their backs soon enough.    She will pass a lot of the women in the biking, and more in the running. 
Tyler Stewart stood on the podium as top ten in the world professional in 2009, so she is one to watch in every race....

The Day is Arrived!  Lake Placid Ironman

Tyler Stewart is off!   5 am on Sunday - Race Day!!!    Johnny and Tyler just drove out the driveway to the race, and the sun is barely peeking up at the clouds.   
I am super nervous for her, because even though her results don't matter, it's still a race where so much can happen.    The roads up here are in terrible shape for the biking, after the horrible winter we all had here in the East, for example.

Saturday - Tyler Stewart Readies for Her Ironman in Lake Placid - 07/24/11 05:44 AM
Saturday - Tyler Stewart Readies for Her Ironman in Lake Placid Tyler spent the day with her family and friends in the Lake Placid area getting her supplies ready and herself rested for the big race the next day.  
She rode bikes with her friends and members of her family, delivered her bike to the race start area, rested, and ate well.   I guess you don't eat much when you are swimming, biking, and running for 8-9 hours straight.

Customizing and Embedding Google Maps - 07/23/11 04:18 PM
This is such a fabulous video helping all of us learn how to embed maps in our blogs, but also teaches us how to place markers, and how to outline things - such as the golf course in Craig's example here...

Google Maps is my most often “go-to” mapping site. Including a map image on your web page or blog post is a great visual element to supplement your hyper-local content. Instead of posting a snapshot of the map, why not embed the map as an object. As … (4 comments)

Tyler Stewart interviewed at Ironman Pro Panel before Lake Placid Ironman 2011
Tyler Stewart is quite an athlete - a professional woman triathlete who has been ranked in the top ten in the world.  A pretty impressive resume all by itself.   She also holds the world record on a lot of Ironman bike courses, and is the nicest person!
In addition, Tyler Stewart is married to my son, Johnny.  So, as a result, I can be proud and brag a lot.   That's what mothers are for, right?

So peaceful to just sit and watch these guys - and even more fun to see the growth every day!!    As we got down close to take this, they kind of scattered a little, so we did "Disturb the Peace" just a bit that morning, I guess....

Whose Side Are You On? - 07/12/11 02:46 PM
I just read something that indicated that mortgage folks' fiduciary duty is to the lender, not the client.   What say you?  I never thought about it before.....  So,  ......     Whose Side Are You On?
 
Definitely.  If I know a borrowers ability to repay a loan is compromised I should pass on it.  Other info like off contract concessions, undisclosed seller held mortgages, or knowledge of employment ending should be disclosed as well as any fact that will compromise the borrowers ability to repay a loan. Much like a selling Realtor not disclosing a known defect that didn't turn up in … (12 comments)
