Got a License? ... Now What? - 06/26/10 10:13 AM
I'm not much of a reblogger but thought this article by Jon Zolsky deserved another trip around the block. I strongly recommend you click through to Karen Anne Stone's post as well. Another thought provoking read.
Via Jon Zolsky, Daytona Beach, FL. FunCoast Realty, 386-405-4408:
One of my favorite bloggers Karen Anne Stone posted Realtors Charging a Retainer Fee Up Front. Is it Realistic ?
Besides other things she is amazed with 210 classroom hours needed to get a Real Estate license compared to 1,500 classroom hours to get a beautician’s license. Of course, it is in Texas.
The whole point … (2 comments)

Sometimes A Day Off Is Just What the Doctor Ordered - 06/25/10 11:56 PM
I took the day off today, away from phones, detached from my computer and all the things that tether me to my world of real estate and design. Spent in the company of a charming young man, a facile raconteur with a twinkle in his eye, and a clear knowledge of where he was headed, I allowed myself to be in the moment and forget everything else.
Crystal clear water rippled as glee filled youngsters reveled in this perfect summer day. My date and I sat at the water's edge, dangling our feet at first, reluctant to feel the shock of icy cold water … (7 comments)

In My World, It's Never "Just A Dog." - 06/25/10 09:51 PM
Anybody who has more than a passing relationship with me knows I'm a dyed in the wool, card carrying, flag waving dog lover. One of my dearest friends used to call me the Mother Theresa of the canine set. Never able to walk away from an animal in need, I can't tell you how many times I've stopped my car to rescue a dog in trouble.
I come by it honestly. When I was a child so many days ended with my father walking in from a long day's work, followed by the cutest of canines. The story he told my mother … (12 comments)

Do You Know Who Your Friends Are -- Maybe Not - 06/19/10 06:03 PM
Think you know who your friends are? Guess again. If you've ever had a knee jerk reaction to someone you've met for the very first time, one that sets your teeth on edge like the screeching sound of chalk scraping on a blackboard, you know what I'm talking about. It's instant enmity. No warm and fuzzies here, no feeling I think we'll be friends. You can't stand this person and are amazed that ten seconds ago you didn't even know he or she existed. It's only happened to me a few times in my life, but it's been unnerving each time. I wanted … (5 comments)

A Letter To My Father . . . Happy Father's Day - 06/19/10 09:58 AM
Dear Dad,
I know you were a man of few words, even though feelings ran deep, and honor ran strong. Moments of the life we shared still play over and over again in the theater of my mind as if years and age couldn't wear away at the fabric. In the empty sack we all begin with, into which the many gifts of our lives are deposited, so many of mine came from you. There is always the echo of your voice uttering, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It's the backbone on which I stand, and I'm … (5 comments)

For ACTIVE Rainers, A Fever Runs Through It - 06/18/10 11:23 PM
Sometimes over the years that I've been playing in the rain, I've been in the thick of it, other times I've watched from the sidelines, ever entranced by the undulating currents that move this incredible mass of people. The one thing that amazes me is the recurrent fever that passes like an epidemic through the crowd. It affects neophyte and skilled rainer alike. The symptoms are a flush of excitement at the rampant possibilities offered and realized here, a need to shout it from the rooftops, an absolute belief in and experience of the power of the rain and an amazement as … (5 comments)

Dining at The Locust Valley Inn . . . Locust Valley, New York - 06/17/10 07:26 PM
If you find yourself in Locust Valley, on the north shore of Long Island and you're in the mood for a relaxing meal, take a ride over to the Locust Valley Inn at 225 Birch Hill Road. After spending the better part of the day and early evening at my clients' home in this quaint and charming village, I was invited to join them for what turned out to be an altogether delightful evening, replete with good food, a homey atmosphere and even better conversation.
An institution in town, and known for its good food and moderate prices, The Locust Valley Inn … (0 comments)
