Leave it to Mother / Central Michigan - 07/30/07 07:41 AM
Leave it to my Mother to come up with innovative solutions. My parents spend their summers in Central Michigan, not far from where they grew up, or for that matter not far from where I went to grade school. North of Rosebush, and South of Clare on Stevenson Lake. They spend their winters at their home in Holiday, FL less than two blocks form where my Grand Parents retired fifty years ago. To say my parents are traditional, will get you no arguments, but it does make my mother's idea stand out. It's time to sell their lake home. The 5 lots (10 comments)
Humble Patriotism - 07/28/07 04:50 PM
On my way to breakfast Friday (7-27-07) I was asked by a mutual friend of ours how I felt about the concert Brenda and I attended Thursday night. My answered confused him. I responded humbled! Well I've had nearly 30 hours to think about it and I still feel the same way. Brenda and I took a bus tour to the Sean Hannity Freedom Concert. We don't attend a lot of concerts, the last one was Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas concert here in Las Vegas about 3 years ago. And we don't do bus tours, never! So this was very unusual for us.

Who Have You Talked To Lately? - 07/09/07 03:49 PM
This isn't real estate or lending. My best friend, Bob Mantel, and I talk almost every week day. I hadn't talked to Bob last week, his answering machine is friendly sounding, but it's not the same. I wrote once in "Chicken Little" that it's nice some of my friends are older and available when I'm out running around. Bob and I frequently went yard sailing on Fridays meeting people and looking for real estate opportunities. Generally enjoying what I do, having a good time and enjoying the company. We rarely talked on week ends, preferring the company of our wives. But, I (10 comments)
A New Voice / A New Source - 07/03/07 11:37 PM
Six weeks ago fellow Active Rainer and friend Jeff Belonger bloged: AOL Real Estate -- I have been interviewed, thanks to Active Rain..... About being interviewed thanks to his writing as seen on AR. Like everyone else I was thrilled for Jeff, even though they didn't get it quit right it's great for Jeff. What I couldn't say was that his experience scarred me. You see I couldn't tell anyone that I had done a recorder interview with a new on line investment magazine just days before. Now I've been an author and subject in print since high school, I've done live (0 comments)
