Wow!  That is such good advice for our time off.... I usually give my stuff to my broker who sometimes spreads it out.  Sometimes we forget that we are people too who need tie off in order to appreciate life.  I am much fresher after some time off than I am when I work for days straight and do no...

  With my dad just having a stroke and going to Israel I sort of wanted to be able go there quickly.   I looked at my passport and noticed the expiration date of 5/2012…. That wasn’t good….

OK I now have spent a week on Calcudos (Dad's research project) and very little time on my business... Some of the work is finished but there is going to be a lot of work while dad is traveling.  They offered to take me but as a landlord I am loath to leave when the rent is due.   It is hard to l...

It is 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bath 1152 sq ft.  in Boise at a negotiated shortsale of $73000 plus closing costs.  It is even possible that the owner...

  Well the real estate market is a funny animal.   Sometimes you are so busy you don't know where to turn.  You are running around and falling in to bed late.  Then it gets quiet for a bit... I am in one of my quiet bits... Perhaps the two are related... When you are running around you do not hav...

Today I am dealing with real life problems. Yesterday My dad had a small stroke.  This will be his third and the prognosis is very good.  He is 72 and is about to embark on a research study in Jerusalem with Hadassah Hospital.  Of course this could mess up his plans but I think if we have no furt...

Today it is time for the great reinspection.... Frankly I am nervous.  We have had over 1 inch or rain fall in Boise.... First as snow then as rain.... It is a soggy mess in Boise.... Any faults will be revealed today... My seller has fixed and disclosed a lot of items... But have not been tested...
