Welcome Home!Welcome to Oceanside Inn - Daytona Beach Shores I had a closing today. One that was traditional and that we now do not have very often.

Just heard on TV that Alan Grayson calls himself "Congressman with the guts". No questions, this is a very catching tag line. But if we think about it, I can see rednecks with a lot of guts in every local bar. What I do not see in abundance in local bars is the mental capacity of a statesman. But...

I heard this story from my relatives, who lived in Riga, Latvia. It was in the 70s, when there was a warmer political climate between the Soviet Union and United States, when Nixon visited Moscow, and when the word American was not associated with locating the closest bomb shelter...

I read a blog by James Wells Our country is broke (in more ways than one), so how do we fix it?   I find this train of thought frustrating. It creates a false idea that we can manipulate the society to be better just because we want and when we want, that we can shift the priorities, and do some ...

Some people claim that there was life before Internet. Interesting. May be these are the same people who claim that there is life on Mars? Some people even claim they can remember life before AR. Wow, do people live that long? So, how was life before AR? The legend has it that real estate profess...

We are getting very close to Closing of this Ormond Beach 2,000sf+ home. After losing a buyer, after going back and forth with contracts, after all that we are soon to close on it (keeping my fingers crossed).
