My TreoFunny thing happened yesterday.  I began working with a new client named "Phil."  Yesterday Phil called me to confirm a future date to look at homes.  Since I hadn't added him to my TREO, I went to do so.

Now perhaps I'm not the only one around that has trouble with last names.  I never committed Phil's name to my memory banks, but I knew it was short.

What came up was Phil Leeto.  Over and over in my mind I'm thinking this guy is Phil Leeto.  I repeated it, all the while thinking it wasn't right.  So I input the name into my TREO, making a mental note that my new client may or may not be Phil Leto.

I was right. He was not.Phil Leeto

Phil Leeto is a Denver Lender an Active Rainer who has been communicating with me via e-mail.  He stops by my blog and I visit his.  We say "hi" but have never meet.

Well Phil, it's working subliminally.  Your name has been imprinted on my brain.  I'd send you my new Phil for a loan, but his a relo tied to a package.  Sorry.  Maybe the next one...

Thanks for being there!

Nothing like an over-worked  TREO to illustrate how HOT BUSINESS is in Denver!  ;)

I love your Treo, Kristal. Can I have one just like it? Did you ask the real Phil Leeto if he wants to buy or sell a home? Or buy a vacation home in Florida?

OK Kristal....you are not reading this comment.....you are very sleepy......Rick and Ines are your friends......Rick and Ines.......you will not remember this comment when you wake up....rick and ines......rick and ines......<snap> wake up!

Next time you can't remember a customer's name and "rick and ines" come mysteriously into your mind, don't ask me how it happened!    :)

Sharon which real Phil Leeto?  The real one in my head or the real mortgage banker here in Denver? I've confused myself.  My TREO is hot, very hot.

Ines ~ I have a story about you that is in my head.  I've never met you either, not have we talked.  But I listen to Shakira and visualize you and Rick singing, "these hips don't lie."  I know you sing like that!  Tell me it's true...

kk: As far as name memory goes—you’re bordering on pre-Codger CRS ☺! And—we don’t remember the rest of our comment(????). Love the wavy thingy.

Ines ~ I'm glad you love it.  I've been wanting to talk to you, but instead I sing (along in my car) and think of you and Rick and Miami!

Jay ~ What were we talking about?

KK...I heard Ines voice today on my hubby Jay's post where she posted a YouTube message....I think she can sing that song!!! :) She sounded so cute!!!

I have a hard time with last names too...and often get them wrong.  Must be the hard of hearing thing.

Too make matters worse I spelled Phil's last name wrong too!  It's now corrected.

See I told you Ines can sing!

I'm sorry to disappoint the 2 of you, but I cannot sing - although I can dance up a storm.  Maybe I'll get some voice training now since you guys are so convinced.

Kristal...One of your most amazing qualities is your humor. If ever I should be distressed, I know right where to visit...and I do. Now I may also visit Phil...

Ines ~ you sing in my mind and that is good enough for me.

JaneAnne ~ Humor keeps me going.  Please do visit Phil, he has a very nice "real" blog too!
