love: If Birds Can Do It, Why Can't We?
- 03/11/13 01:55 AM
Where we live, on the Eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips. They curl into the smaller creeks and coves like tender palms. The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and the ducks who ride an inch above the waves of Chesapeake Bay as they skim their way into harbor. In the autumn, by the thousands, they come home for the winter. The swans ... move toward the shores in a stately glide, their tall heads proud and unafraid. They lower their long necks deep into … (11 comments)

- 02/21/13 11:33 PM
A very successful attorney parked his brand new Lexus in front of his office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he was getting out, a truck came along too closely and completely tore off the driver's door. Fortunately, a cop in a police car was close enough to see the accident and pulled up behind the Lexus with his lights flashing. Before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the attorney started screaming hysterically about how his Lexus, which he had just purchased the day before, was completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter … (14 comments)

The son asked, "And what about those ugly shoes on your feet? His father replied, "These are 'babouches", which keep us from burning our feet in the desert." "So tell me then," added the boy.

love: The Art of Marketing Analysis (Bias)
- 02/07/13 06:15 AM
At Family Abstract, I feel like I have heard every single bias as to why every marketing company we have ever hired can not seem to get to the homebuyer in any meaningful way. We want to be in the game and not locked out by the Broker owners of Real Estate Brokerages that also own their own title companies. I compiled some f them below, if for nothing more than to get it off my chest! Hindsight Bias = I knew it all along Representativeness Bias = Stereotyping Anchoring Bias = Small details sets the baseline … (5 comments)

With rare flames of scarlet for each special day And odd strands of silver where you kept your illusions Mixed in with the blues showing loss and confusion
If you painted your life, would there be storms? For the times you lost courage and agreed to conform Perhaps you'd paint stars, one for each dream That gave life a meaning, or so it once seemed.
Has anyone else painted clouds in your sky? And dulled your bright colours as your chances passed by? Maybe it is time to … (3 comments)

My father and his wife are getting up in years. There is talk about an over 75 community or even assisted living, neither which, my father (Freeze-pop) Is NOT to keen on. About 2 years ago we were on a cruise through the western Mediterranean aboard a Princess liner. At dinner we noticed an elderly lady sitting alone along the rail of the grand stairway in the main dining room. I also noticed that all the staff, ships officers, waiters, busboys, etc., all seemed very familiar with this lady. I asked our waiter whom the lady was expecting to be told … (14 comments)

I admit it! I was Jelous! We are one of the only two Jewish familes on the block! Everyone else had lights, I wanted lights. My wife told me, no way, You can't do it, you have no talent, it's not in your genes! I said, "How bad can it be, it's only one tree". So, I had the crazy idea to do it and beg for forgiveness later. I had no idea how it would turn out, I never strung lights before, but I was hard at it to say the least. In a mere 4 hours,. with 30 minutes … (52 comments)

From my Family at Family Abstract, Inc. to yours, I present the Christmas Closings only a Title Company can know it. I can (almost) guarantee a smile and a suggest!
THE CHRISTMAS CLOSING 'Twas an hour before closing and the agents were tense, to close Christmas Eve just didn't make sense. But the seller was booked on the 6 o'clock flight and had warned "THERE WILL BE A CLOSING TONIGHT!" The agents agreed because business was dead, and visions of commission checks danced in their heads. The loan was approved by the lender's good grace, Everyone knew 'twas a borderline … (4 comments)

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. 'In honor of this holy season' Saint Peter said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.' The Englishman fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It's a candle', he said. 'You may pass through the pearly gates' Saint Peter said. The Scotsman reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.' Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the pearly gates'. The Irishman started searching … (15 comments)
