Geez, I Didn't Realize ActiveRain Was THAT Local

Bill Cobb

 While cruising Facebook today I notice this picture posted by AR member Bill Cobb. The purpose of his picture was to share with the rest of the world how bad the pollen is in the town he was visiting. But something else caught my eye...

The home in the background seemed familiar. Yep, that would be my neighbor's house! After interacting with Bill on AR for 3.5 years he was literally less than a football field away. After a brief delay to put on pants (hey, it is Sunday after all) I was on my way to meet Bill!

Wouldn't you know it. Super-helpful internet Bill was just as delightful in person. I was able to meet his family, visit for a bit, and yes even talk shop. Not wanting to interrupt his family gathering, I made a quick departure. Leave it to the internet to bring people two houses apart together.

Where will this end? Heck, I half way expert to run into Barbara Todero at the Pineville Wal-Mart this evening. Thanks to ActiveRain, you never now!

Doug, I've actually run into another Rainer at the local grocery store once, but in general, I've had to go find them, mostly somewhere else in the country.  Adding some more to my in real life meeting over the next few weeks and looking forward to it.  Bill

Doug, how nice to meet someone in person like that and how funny to recognize a house in a fb photo.

Hey Doug, 

So, so sorry for the delay in responding as I had to hit the ground running that next Monday morning and Baton Rouge Real Estate has been on fire in this buyer's season.  This is the first breather I've had since that day.

Wow! I was shocked to see you walking through the backdoor and was so glad to finally meet you. I love that subdivision you and my cousins live in and share.  And, I love reading your blog post when I have time to.  You have a definite gift of communicating via short bullet points while at the same time telling an interesting and humorous story.  I believe that your post and communication skills are so valuable that I'd love to see a webinar with you and Bob Stewart on how you blog, your schedule for pumping out awesome content and how you accomplish it all.  You're one of THE most consistent bloggers I know.  

Please either email me or text me that photo of us together taken that day at Crystal and Ragan's house.

Thanks So Much For Your Friendship, Doug!

Bill
