Our friends to the North may have a turkey hang over but for us we enjoyed a smoked port butt over the weekend. It was work as usual otherwise.

What break? I signed up a listing on Saturday which needed to get rushed on the MLS etc. Calls from an out of town buyer coming in later this month which needed a lot of research, etc. etc. It has not slowed down for me! Not complaining.

My best to our Canadian associates that had their Thanksgiving!

I had a day of CEO prospecting & COO escrow management for 3 of my buyers and then after lunch took Peak Producers week 4 and read some of my broker class materials. So, it was 50/50 (regular work / "relaxed" work).

If I actually took a break (which is rare), I feel rejuvenated and refreshed and ready to hit the ground running. But, mostly, holidays go by without notice.
