Enjoying a Lazy Sunday. . Almost

By
Real Estate Agent with Mapleridge Realty, CT 203-206-0754 REB.0759001

In this business we so seldom get a chance to relax and enjoy a peaceful Sunday and not worry about our business. Today almost gets to be that type of day for me.

Set the VCR for 2:00 PM as the UConn men's basketball team goes after a much needed win to keep their NCAA basketball hopes alive.

An emotional day as it's the last home game for Seniors and a fired up Louisville team wants to act as spoilers.

 

Well just to make it interesting, at 3:00 PM there's a little Gold medal Hockey game between the USA and Canada. Very little excitement there but somebody may be interested.

Can you say hit the remote button?

 

 

What reason would I have for the VCR?

Well today is the first large Birthday party for Grandson Raphael Michael Antonacci. His first birthday, and already 3 weeks ago my boss wife told me that I was not to conduct any business today. I was to visit with the family and enjoy Rafi's first birthday party

As the party is in the Norwich, Ct area, set the remote, but the blackberry will be with me for periodic updates.

 

 

 

 

 

On the way back home I get  a chance to stop and take a listing for an Emmy award winning condo that some close friends insist I have to sell for them.

Technically it's not business because the birthday party will already be over.

Before this all started I only needed to get an inspection response signed, and an FHA clause paperwork signed, which is not really business. All of us in the business know none of this is really work it's just the little stuff that needs attention.

Happy Birthday to that cute little guy. It's not so much a day for Raphael, but for the grown-ups and all of the photo ops. Try not to answer your phone during the event!

Ed;  I like your style.  And what a wonderful gift you now have.  Enjoy.  Teach him the business when no one is looking.  This is the best time of your life.  As is mine.

Ah, taking time when there is no time. At least you took time for the right reason. (Not because your boss wife told you to, LOL). Your grandson will remember the times you took off for him, trust me.

Thank you for the acknowledgments to Rafi Boy's first. he is special. Unfortunately both of my teams came up on the short end. At least the USA Hockey team tried, I don't think I can say the same for the UConn men's basketball team. oh well!

Sad turn of fortune with the Huskies and the USA hockey team but for sure Raphael should have had a great time.
