The market bottoms and you don't know it...until you know it - 05/28/08 11:35 PM
There are a number of buyers out there waiting with baited breath for the housing market to bottom out so they can snag a house on the "best possible deal." Fair enough. I get that.
I, however, disagree with the logic and the execution.
How do you know when the market has … (0 comments)

All-Star Votes - 05/24/08 03:47 PM
Though I feel that voting for the MLB All-Star game begins a little too early, we're getting to the point where it actually starts to matter. I urge you, if you fill out an all-star ballot to strongly consider Chicago White Sox starting left fielder, Carlos Quentin as a write-in candidate.

Bulls Shock the NBA - 05/20/08 09:44 PM
You may or may not have known it but the Chicago Bulls own the rights to the #1 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.
How'd that happen?
The Bulls finished an uber-dissapointing season with a record of 33-49 instead of making the playoffs as expected. They were, instead, the 9th worst … (8 comments)

Coal City Absorption 5-18-08 - 05/18/08 10:10 PM
One of the most overlooked aspects in selling homes, I believe, is the absorption rate or the ability to sell off all the homes in a region that are currently for sale. It is tallied in a relatively simple manner- even for non-stat nerds (which I, unfortunately, am NOT a part … (0 comments)

Horton Hears a Who Review....for you - 05/05/08 10:22 AM
Horton Hears a Who is 'children's movie' adaptation of a Dr. Suess story. I had zero interest in seeing this film. In fact, my wife took our sons to see it and I gracefully, passed many weeks ago. This time, as part of my tutoring-after-school program, I "had" to see it … (4 comments)

"The Mist" Review - 05/05/08 09:58 AM
The Mist was plugged as "based on the Stephen King novella" from its inception. I think that can be a curse-as MANY a King adaptation turns a brilliant (or at least good) story into junk. It's my opinion that this should have been sold as "Screenplay by Frank Darabont, the man … (5 comments)
