"Is a Contingent Offer in the Hand worth Two in the Bush?" - 09/28/07 07:07 PM
A while back, I wrote an article entitled, "Putting the Cart before the Horse: Making a Contingent Offer." It was written specifically to advise Buyers on the pro's & cons of writing a contingent offer. This time, I thought I would offer up some helpful counsel for Sellers on how to respond to contingent offers.
According to Webster's Online Dictionary, the word 'contingent' has several meanings. Can you guess which one is most applicable to real estate?
1 : likely but not certain to happen : POSSIBLE2 : not logically necessary; especially : EMPIRICAL3 a : happening by chance or unforeseen causes b : subject … (8 comments)

Central Kitsap Junior High Football: "Our First Game/Victory!" - 09/21/07 06:05 PM
Last Wednesday was the 1st game of the 2007 season for the Central Kitsap Junior High Cubs, both JV and Varsity squads.
My youngest son, Luke, is starting quarterback on the JV team. He has played the last two years on the local Silverdale Pee Wee Team and was excited to play for his school this year.
We played Marcus Whitman Junior High down in Port Orchard. We won the coin toss, and elected to receive. Our first touchdown came in the very first series, followed by another touchdown in the 1st quarter. Marcus Whitman wouldn't go down without a fight, and punched their … (10 comments)

"Molasses going Uphill on a Cold Day" - a Trip Down 8MB Memory Lane - 09/21/07 11:31 AM
Is it just me, or is anyone else experiencing 'snail-like' response time on the network lately? I ran out to mow the lawn while I was waiting for the screen to change. If this pace keeps up, I just might be able to get my 10 comments in before bedtime!
It always amazes me how spoiled we've become with high-speed internet. I remember the days of my trusty (well, okay, NOT so trusty) HP Pavillion with it's lightning pace 75MHZ processor and whoppin' 8MB RAM!
Ah, such fond memories! Dial-up modems, boasting blazing 14.4K connections, and the joys of AO-Hell...
Interesting how our attitudes … (15 comments)

C-STOCK's "Damn Yankees!" - a DAMN good show in Kitsap County WA - 09/19/07 04:09 PM
This past weekend saw the opening 'Homerun" performances of C-STOCK's (Central Stage Theatre of County Kitsap) musical comedy, "Damn Yankees!" here on the Kitsap Peninsula, in Silverdale, WA.
My two sons, Luke and Elliot, and I audtioned back last July and all three of us made the cast! It's been a huge time commitment and tons of work, but we've had a blast hanging out together!
Yesterday, our local newspaper, The Kitsap Sun, published a review by their entertainment critic, Michael Moore (there's no relation to the film maker, but he's just as obnoxious). You can read his review here.
In light of Mr. Moore's wonderfully insightful remarks, … (6 comments)

State of the Crab Address - 09/06/07 01:10 PM
With all of the Presidential hopefuls filling the airwaves with endless political pontifications, I thought I would share some much more valued and pressing information regarding the recent crab fishing season here in the Puget Sound of Western Washington.
So, without any further adieu or gilding of the lily, I give you The State of the Crab Address!

Leaving My Wife for a Crab - Life on the Kitsap Peninsula WA - 09/02/07 01:20 PM
Yes, it's true. I can't deny it. I love crabs. And not just any ole' crabs, mind you. But Dungeness Crabs. The delicious 'mouth-watering' variety that is plentiful here in the scenic Pacific Northwest.
When the crabbing season rolls around here on the Puget Sound WA, you can typically find me out cruising the deep, clear waters of Hood Canal in my trusty C-Dory, in search of the illusive 'Dungie.'
But the question I have to ask myself is this, "Would I ever leave my wife for a Crab?"
To find out the answer to this puzzling question, go to Crabbing in … (38 comments)
