illinois: 8 MONTHS OF BLOGGING...THE WORLD HAS CHANGED...WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? - 10/03/08 09:31 AM
I have been blogging since February 15th of this year. I joined Active Rain in January of 2007, but like a lot of us, I was slow on the uptake. With this post, I will move into the top spot in my hometown of Naperville Illinois.
So here I sit, reflective after almost 8 months of blogging. So many posts...
Some good, some bad, some ugly.
What has it all meant? Has it meant anything?
The world has changed over those 8 months.
The government has grown. And grown some more.

illinois: THE LAKEWOOD CROSSING VIEW, NAPERVILLE ILLINOIS - 09/24/08 07:56 PM
Divide and conquer.
After delivering 362 of my newsletters in one day last week, I thought it better to break up the work a little.
I decided to deliver 100 per day in my next subdivison, Lakewood Crossing here in Naperville Illinois. Tonight was the first night out.
I felt much better today. It was a nice early autumn evening. Warm for late September. Probably high 70's.
The sky was beautiful. Orange and purple. Thunderstorms way in the distance.
A great evening to be working.

illinois: MY GOLF SWING - 08/02/08 07:02 PM
I was chipping in the backyard this afternoon. I was having a small fire as well.
It was a nice afternoon.
Anyway, I think I learned something about my golfswing today.
While chipping with my lobwedge, I tried to take the club far to the outside.
To me, it felt very unusual.
Perhaps to the observer...
Anyway, I hit almost every chip perfect.
My full swing felt on plane and very powerful.
Am I onto something???
Or is it just another false hope???

illinois: WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE MEAN? - 07/09/08 07:21 PM
Just curious. Was it nature or nurture?
I wrote a post today about a letter written by an apparently disturbed reader titled, My boss received an anonymous letter. The letter had no return address. I am fairly confident I know who wrote the letter. It is someone I have never spoken with and never seen. Another agent in the area that apparently doesn't like the way I write.
Yet they went WAY out of their way to cause me trouble. Go read the letter. It was mean and nasty.
And I don't even know this person.
It is weird.
Don't worry, I will … (13 comments)

illinois: KEY LIME PIE - 06/24/08 09:26 PM
Mmmmm good.
I am having my third piece. Not real big pieces. But tasty.
Not too sweet. A bit tart. Just right.
When you start with a crumbling grahm cracker crust, how can you go wrong??
I did my yoga this morning. And ran three times last week. I have been good.
Three pieces? I will be better tomorrow.

illinois: HOME VALUES. SHOULD WE BE AT 2002 PRICES? - 04/27/08 08:52 PM
I was showing townhomes this morning. My old neighborhood. River Bend.
I met my clients at the usual spot. Starbucks.
I enjoy meeting clients at Starbucks. It seems to put them at ease. Happy. Who doesn't like a free cup of coffee?
I feel it is a good $5 investment.
I was showing a young couple. It was my first time out with them. I never expect first timer outers to buy.
I feel they need to see a few homes first. Get comfortable with the process. Get comfortable with me.
The home we were seeing is listed at $309,900. It was the model home of the unit I … (14 comments)
