Hi Jerry... no lack of things to do in San Antonio this weekend. The Rodeo Ball sounds like fun. Hopefully your weather is warmer than ours.

Unfortunately, Nina Hollander, Broker. Temperatures are expected to be in the low 30's this weekend, especially in the mornings, but gets up to 60's by the afternoon.

Jerry Newman - I like the variety! There's something for everyone. 

If I were there, I'd definitely go to the Mark Twain performance!

I hope 2026 is off to a great new start for you!

Hi Patricia Feager. I did renew my license for two more years, but I have scaled back a lot on doing business. Only have a couple of listings so far. Wishing you a great year!

Jerry Newman - I became inactive in January 2025, but my license is good until 4/2027, unless I pay to have it renewed. When I did my cost benefit analysis in 2024, I decided I'm closed for business. 

Best wishes with your few listings.

Hi Will Hamm. I would prefer going to see the Spurs play this weekend, but I am most likely going to watch on TV since I can stand all the noise at the AT & T Center where they will be playing. Lol.

Hello, @Brian England. The Spurs are looking great this year. I never thought they would be a contender so early, but they made some good trades to support Wemby.
