This weekend was a great weekend to be at the beach.  Played 18 holes of golf at Carolina National on Saturday, one of my favorite courses.  Played Oak Island today, another favorite.  Carolina National liked me better, but I think I can play better next time at Oak Island. We have over 35 golf c...

I was riding my bicycle on Caswell Beach Road and was really impressed with how nice a new house looked, then I realized that it wasn't new, just painted a very appealing green.  Talk about going green, this house looked new and I knew better!  What a payoff for a home to sell or just for persona...

What a great place to cycle, light traffic, and nice wooded ride along the Intracoastal Waterway, by the vegetation on the dunes by the ocean, usually find visitors enjoying the island and join up to ride with them.  Hard to get lost on an island!

Great display of mind over mountains today.  Heart rates and wattage rising.  Exciting prospects for great day on the Tour today. 

Wow, what a show!  When I looked around the theater in Raleigh I saw it was full of people about my age.  Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons turned out the hits and many of them reflected what they were experiencing in real life at about that time.  The cast was wonderful and I see they will be i...

Just when we think we are moving ahead on the "new" bridge to Oak Island, which people have been talking about since at least the 1960's, work stops again, to err on the side of safety.  It seems cracks were noticed in a few of the long beams designed to span quite a distance over the Intracoasta...

Before our sales staff meeting this morning I rode 18+ miles on my bicycle. One item that was interesting was the long concrete beams loaded on a barge that is in the Intracoastal Waterway near the new Oak Island Bridge construction site.  It's amazing that these beams are to be lifted in place b...

My friend Dan provided the following information on his experience with Global Internet on Blackberry Storm.  "For Storm to do global internet I had to take the battery out in London then when it reset it was working. Did it again in Raleigh for local." What could be easier?

After learning how to use my Blackberry Storm, and becoming dependent on my mobile tweets and emails, it decided to freeze on me.  I was convinced that I had failed to answer an Allow? question that it always seemed to be asking me, but I was assured that just because it could freeze, it did.  So...

On Sunday I rode a very conservative ride of 10 miles, and just kind of cruised along.  My husband rode the Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry and then bicycled from Fort Fisher to downtown Wilmington to a coffee shop for a bit of re-fueling before the ride back to the ferry.  This 50 mile round trip is...
