ActiveRain...Helping Friends Stay In Touch - 09/23/07 08:00 PM
I received an email from a friend in Jersey the other day. She mentioned the picture on my website and I had to ask her: "What picture?" I don't have a picture on my website or my blogsite so she piqued my curiosity. She replied that she was keeping up to date on

Is There Life After Real Estate? - 09/22/07 05:17 AM
I know as Real Estate Professionals, we are expected to work odd hours. But I haven't had a life lately! Don't get me wrong. I spend time with my loved ones. But when do I get to do stuff that's just for me? Is this just because I am still paying my dues

Dancing On The Ceiling To Impress - 09/19/07 06:38 AM
I received a message from a friend. "Hey, sorry I missed your call. I was showing a property. Dazzling. Dancing on the ceiling like Fred Astaire. I don't know, you have to bend over backwards for buyers nowadays. Anyway, call me." He made me laugh. Charley always makes me laugh. But I

My Shiny Teeth And Me - 09/18/07 08:32 AM
This is a Just Because post. Just because I like it. This song always makes me smile. Catchy tune. Keeps me humming it all day. And on my honor, it has nothing to do with anyone who may think they're all that and a side of fries. The inimitable Chip Skylark:

Believing In Yourself - 09/17/07 10:02 PM
Yesterday as we left church my eldest asked if she could drive the car. She's not yet 16 and I'm just a little scared about her driving. Not because of her. She's a level headed kid. It's the other drivers in Miami I don't trust.She has a restricted license. We call

Do You Want My Business Or Not? - 09/14/07 12:05 PM
I got a letter from one of those property investors. As real estate agents who probably own more than just your primary home, I would think most of you have received one at some point.The letter reeks of direct mail "insider tricks." You know, the kind we all use:Handwriting font on

It took me 2 hours to get home tonight. It usually takes me 40 minutes. I'm not complaining. I know I arrived at home, safe and sound. A Miami-Dade police officer was not so lucky. Officer Jose Somohano was gunned down this morning while on duty on robbery detail.Three other officers were also

Today we remember and we mourn. It's been 6 years. But you've been gone for ten. Ten years ago today I lost you unexpectedly. We went to bed as usual. You kissed the girls goodnight. That was the last time Daddy kissed them. In the morning you were gone. A

Making A Difference And Touching Others - 09/09/07 09:17 AM
I have been feeling very uninspired to blog about anything lately. A week ago I said boring Localism posts were coming and then one did but I think the situation that spurred it just got under my skin and I haven't felt like writing at all. It's been more than a week since

A Death In The Redland - 09/01/07 08:23 PM
He was alive two hours ago. Now grief seems to be all that's left behind. He was an only child. I cannot begin to imagine the pain his parents are going through. Twenty-two years old. He was just a kid. I did not know Lloyd. Now I can't get his sneakers
