First off, let me start out by saying that this post has been in draft mode just waiting to be finished for several months now, but I was waiting for the right time to do so.  Well, I feel after my experiences over the last several months here on ActiveRain, that there could be no better time than now to post this, so here it goes.  Secondly, I apologize, it is kind of a long post, but hopefully worth your time.

The Cat Conundrum Continues!
As many of you know that have been following my Cat Conundrum Series over the last couple of weeks or so, you know after recently loosing our Dear Black Lab “Moose” at the end of July, that not too long after that a furry little creature who we now call “Misu” showed up at our house and basically adopted us.  And we have since then adopted him. 
I like how Don Sabinske of Don Sabinske & Associates recently put it in a comment on the Cat Conundrum Revisited post,  “Your Cat was a gift from Moose.  And what … (12 comments)

Who is This Person and Why are They Important? | Back to School Series
Okay, so I know in my last post, I said tune back in next week for my next statue post, well next week came early.  I decided that because there currently is not an unanswered post in one of my favorite groups at ActiveRain: Statues of the World, that I would go ahead and post this one.  Also because this is a part of my back to school series, we need to keep those brains revved up even over the weekend.

It is time to get back on the band wagon with my back to school series of statues post, but first we must anwer the question posed above since no one was able to guess the correct answer.

Someone Is In The Dog House & It’s Not Our Dogs!
What started out as a routine drive home from Bark-N-Lounge, our doggie day care facility located in Keller, Texas turned into anything but routine once me and our 3 doggies arrived home yesterday.  
After a long afternoon spent at my new real estate office, RE/MAX Heritage, attending a Power Class earlier in the day and then a Heritage Fall Festival planning meeting, accompanied by a few errands on the way home before leaving to go pick up the dogs, I called my wife on the way home from Bark-N-Lounge trying … (11 comments)

When trying to decide what to do for a video entry into ActiveRain’s 1st Annual Talent Competition, lots of ideas began swimming through my head, but timing, production, and some technical challenges limited my options at this time.  If this were taking place a couple of months from now, it might be a different story.
Originally, you were supposed to be getting ready to watch myself and several friends taking part in an actual live talent competition aboard a Carnival Cruise ship that we were on back in like 1998.  We … (14 comments)

Reflections of 9/11 2011 | A Tribute to Those Lost
While words will never be able to be expressed to ease the pain and suffering of those lives lost on 11 September 2001, and the many lives lost since then from first responders and recovery workers who died of diseases by what they inhaled during the recovery process to the thousands of military men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country, I can only hope that these pictures in some small way show you that they were not forgotten.  Nor will they ever be.

The Cat Conundrum; Revisited!
To say the last month or so has been uneventful would be an understatement of the largest proportions!  It all started with me taking and passing my Texas Real Estate Broker Exam toward the end of July.  The joy of passing my broker exam was then overshadowed a few days later when we lost our Dear Black Lab “Moose”.  
I then received my official Texas Real Estate Broker License a few days later.  This was followed up by a week or so of me researching, contemplating, soul searching, and then ultimately deciding to become a part of … (15 comments)

First off, my wife and I are animal lovers in general, all of God’s creatures great and small.  Secondly, for most of my childhood and adult life, I have also been a dog lover.  Have never been much of a cat person, got nothing personal against cats, its just the last time I owned a cat was back in like elementary school.  I had one of those cats that looked exactly like “Morris” the Cat.
