Not that it matters, but this post has pretty much nothing to do with real estate. It's just something that bugs me, and I thought it warranted mentioning. Today, I was out with my family for awhile - we had lunch at a new Mexican restaurant, then went to Fry's Electronics to return a couple of ...

Rich Jacobson strongly recommended that I take my wife to see "Fireproof" a week or two ago. I think his actual words might have been, "I will slap you around when I see you in Houston later this month if you don't go." Fair enough - he thought it was worth seeing, so I took Pam to see it ab...

If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you know that I lost one of my close friends, David Wilder, to throat and neck cancer at age 49 back in late March. I can't believe it's already been over six months since he died. As with most grief, it takes on a different feel after the passage o...

I want to thank my friend Robin Scott for writing a post about Frugal Media yesterday. I even asked if I could steal her photos for this post, and she agreed. She is friends with the owners of this terrific new store, and since I am an admitted book addict, I was compelled to go check it out si...

I get asked this question quite a bit. It comes from friends, acquaintances, clients, potential buyers, sellers, random strangers (well, maybe those those as much). Everyone wants to know how the market is doing. Last night, while I was at church, I was speaking to three people who seemed enthr...

I just saw this post on Deb Brooks' blog. Please pray for my good friend Melissa Grant's daughter. I hope that we hear some good news by the morning. Prayer vigil. Please pray for Melissa's daughter, Graycelyn. I just spoke to Melissa Grant and she is rushing her daughter, Gracelyn, to the hos...

I saw this post from Gary Woltal earlier, and I thought it was definitely worthy of re-blogging. Julie is one of my favorite people, not just on ActiveRain, but in general. I highly recommend checking out her blog and saying "hi" or "welcome back!" if you have a chance. She is special indeed....
