I don't get the chance to contribute to my own Blog nearly as much as I'd like. As a matter of fact, I just took a quick peak, and boy were my eyes opened! I mean, yeah ... I realize that we're all here to share ideas, learn from and grow with one another, while - at the same time - exposing our businesses to the largest audience possible. After reviewing my past Blogs though, I had to wonder just who in their right mind would bother reading this dry, factually-based, owner's manual of a schmuck anyway?

Nearly every one of the Blogs I've written up to this point have been business-related, focusing just about exclusively on my Loon Mountain Real Estate. Well, that's all good-n-fine, and even understandable ... to a point! In the process though, very few of you have really gotten to know "Scott, the Person". Based on the "slim-pickins" I've made available out here in good ol' Cyber-Space, I can only hope that some of you might actually see this latest addition, read it, and at least get to know a little about this simple, Loon Mountain Resort Country Boy up in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Now, although this is intended for absolutely anybody & everybody, as a special acknowledgment to all of the ladies out there...

If your husband, fiance, or significant other is one of those classic "tough-guy" types, who cringes at the slightest mention of an emotionally-based "talk", and prefers avoidance (or a good ball-game!) over a teary-eyed discussion, well, em, er...

I gotta admit, I'm guilty. I play that same role the rest of my gender does. Heck, just ask my wife. When we met, she had two cats and so did I. Of course, in my classic "tough-guy" facade, I stretched the truth by blaming my previous wife. Now, this isn't to say that I lied by any stretch. Before my first wife and I separated, we had already left my Loon Mountain Resort town of Lincoln, NH once to relocate south, to North Carolina. When, ultimately, we did "part ways", I returned north to my beloved Loon Mountain communities of Lincoln & Woodstock, NH ... but not alone. I had two (feline) brother-n-sister travel companions that I had thought my step-sons couldn't live without. Anyway, let's fast-forward roughly 13-years...

The brother, a 23lb +/- orange tabby called Alley, ran away several years ago. Both were indoor/outdoor cats, and I've since seen him around my little village, but he's obviously been fed by other locals and is enjoying his own life here in the mountains. His sister, Casper - who was the "runt of the litter" and yet had remained diligent to virtually every emotion this "tough guy" had undergone over the years - was diagnosed w/Cancer last year. Although the majority had been removed successfully, her quality of life had slowly but surely diminished. As such, your author experienced his first-ever euthanasia just a couple of weeks ago, and to all the pet lovers out there, let me tell you...

The water-works were in full-swing all the way home, and still well-up from time to time! 

* W/D DOUBLE-DECKER LOON MOUNTAIN VIEWS ... AND WITH PRIVACY TOO! W/D *

One of only four of these 1 Bedroom Suite style condos - which are located at the ever popular Loon Mountain area Lodge Resort - that has MULTIPLE UNIQUE FEATURES! Not only can you Wake to the Sunrise through your own HUGE Master Bedroom Window (select few available), but you also have...

Your own, Double-Length Private Balcony AND a Privacy-Door between the Master Bedroom and the Living Room (again, select few)! For those unfamiliar w/the Lodge...

It's arguably the most economical form of year-'round 2nd Homeownership in the Loon Mountain community of Lincoln, NH ... and it even makes onsite rentals available to its owners to help offset expenses! Of course, no one says you have to rent, but this would almost certainly be an enviable unit to have in the exlusive, onsite inventory! As if all this weren't enough...

There's a Clubhouse w/an Indoor Heated Pool, Hot-Tub, Saunas, and Game Rooms. Outside, there's another (seasonal) Pool, along with Tennis Courts, Two (2) BBQ Grill/Picnic areas, Horseshoes, a "Swimming-Hole" in the Spring-Fed, Pemigewasset River in your backyard, and your own Shuttle Bus to/from Skiing in the winter! But we're not done yet: it's also easier on the purse-strings than any other "Like-Type" condo at the Lodge too!

First and foremost, please forgive any type-o's in this post. I'm not as well-rounded with the inner-workings of cyber-space as I'd hoped, and find my spell-check function isn't working as it should. Now, with that out of the way, let's PLAY BALL!

Mom's a big fan of the Billy Crystal movie "City Slickers", and especially likes to call on birthdays - at the precise moment of birth - and quote lines from the movie, just like his character's Mom did. She's also what I have come to refer to as our "Family Prophet", since she has an uncanny ability to forecast family events with an eerily-accurate record ... with one major exception.

Several years ago, I remember Mom forecasting that the "Born Dad" in the family would have lots of children. This article's author, by the way, is her only son. Although my life has been blessed in countless other ways, I'm afraid the "Family Prophet" struck out during this one particular time at-bat. As such, my beautiful wife and I have come to be known to many throughout our area as "Aunt Sally & Uncle Scotty".

Now, it's been years since I saw that movie, but a couple of the scenes had a lasting effect on my life. One of those included a dialogue between Billy's character and the shorter, more boisterous (sound like someone we know, Mom?) of his two friends. You remember, the guys who take him on his vacation Cattle Drive so he can "find his smile"? Well...

In that particular dialogue, he describes to Billy's character his "Best Day" and his "Worst Day". I believe that, in this particular character's case, those days were one-in-the-same. Yesterday, for me, was the Home Run of Best Days, and I just wanted to share it here...

Recently, a friend of mine named Mark made me one of those offers I simply couldn't refuse. This man, although already gainfully-employed, and a good supportive husband and father to his two sons, still finds time to pick-up a few, additional weekend hours during the summer. I first met Mark at the Lodge Resort just outside of Loon Mountain. He works for the HOA as their weekend Maint/Security man, whereas the team I represent handles Property Rentals and Sales under the same roof. Being well-over 6' tall, and considering my vertically-challenged stature, I commonly refer to my friend as our "Gentle Giant". Yesterday, my friend was responsible for my Best Day!

As an active part of the Loon Mountain communities of Lincoln and Woodstock, NH throughout his life, I had asked Mark long ago to allow me to "tag along" with him to any community events he might be involved with. As a result of my dual-position in both the rentals and sales with several of the Loon Mountain area's Vacation Condo Resort developments...

I am already familiar with a large percentage of our area's 2nd homeowners. Embarassingly-enough, however, I am nowhere near as familiar with several of my own, year-'round neighbors. Mark was gracious enough to invite me to not only attend one of his favorite springtime events w/his sons, but he extended to me the privilige and honor of taking on a participatory role. Early yesterday evening, I found myself at the Kancamagus Recreation Center here in Lincoln, NH helping to coach Mark's community baseball team ... the Linwood Red Sox!

This team, as I learned yesterday, is an incredibly-talented group of 9 and 10 year-old boys, and includes his sons Brandon and Andrew (hi guys and thanks!). The only stipulation Mark put on my posting a Blog about this event was that I mention his name, his team, his boys, and what an incredible coach they had! This stipulation was intended, of course, as a good-humored, tongue-in-cheek jab between friends. I figured I owed him anyway, so as they say in the big leagues...

* LET'S GO (LINWOOD) RED SOX! *

Thanks again for my "Best Day" guys ... hope to make many more of your scrimmages/practices (pictured here) and some of the games too! Oh, and for my readers...

Yes, that really IS a huge pile of leftover snow pictured between the Basketball Court and the Baseball Field. Again, these pictures were all taken on Tuesday, 05/06th (yesterday) at the Kancamagus Recreaction Center in Lincoln, NH. Notice, however, that we're all out in T-Shirts, with many also wearing shorts, so spring really has arrived in the White Mountains of New Hampshire!
