First, I apologize to Doctor Seuss (and all of you) for my play on a "Green Eggs and Ham" rhyme in my title. All I can say is that I couldn't resist!

DFW (and Texas) Home Prices are Up… and so are my spirits! - 05/23/08 09:43 PM
It's often difficult, here in Dallas, to be a REALTOR® and also be happy about the local Real Estate news reporting. We suffer, along with many other cities, from a media that is all too anxious to report the doom and gloom of the real estate market. Ironically, when you compare … (0 comments)

I walked to Starbucks! - 05/03/08 03:54 PM
Yes, I did it... I walked to Starbucks this morning... and I will admit I felt like a bit of a freak doing it.
