Well, where in the World have I been?.....Let me tell you! - 12/29/07 02:55 PM
First, I want to thank everyone who has been in touch the last few weeks, either asking where I've been or just offering holiday wishes (thanks so much for the card, Cindy!) 
So, to put everyone at ease (geez, its flattering that you guys were so concerned) I thought I would fill you in on what I've been up to.

This morning I met one of my partner agents at a builder's model to pick up some accessories that I had left at one of her listings that recently sold.  She was at the model covering for the listing agent who was out of town.  She had five hours to kill, so we figured if I picked it up there I could keep her company for a while until a buyer stopped in.  She told me the … (21 comments)
