The Week In Review...

Just some of the highlights of the past week:

February 14th - Valentines Day was great. Jen and I drove to Columbia, SC to see Billy Joel and eat at our favorite Thai place, Baan Sawan. Oh, did I fail to mention that I forgot my wallet and realized that fact 45 minutes into a 1 hour drive. We gave up our reservation, drove back to house, picked up my wallet and had a wonderful gourmet meal at Hardee's drive through. Nothing says "come hither" louder than my wife eating chili cheese fries in her "going out" clothes. Billy was AMAZING and he can sure play that piano.

February 15th - I broke a personal record for getting an offer on a listed house - 9 minutes. The house went on our local MLS at 5 pm Thursday evening and at 9 minutes after that I received a call that some buyers were placing a full price offer, sight unseen. They had to drive down from New Jersey to see it. Now, the rest of the story is that nothing EVER goes that smoothly and we are still in negotiations. Hopefully all will be settled by the weekend.

Weekend - Nothing very big just relaxing around the house and getting some To-Do's checked off, watching TIVOed shows and hanging out. Jessie had a great weekend seeing one of her favorite bands and getting to have conversation with some of the members after the show.

Today - This was a great day. My son, Jason who is in Iraq, called and will be coming home at the end of March or first week of April. He is counting down the days as are we and look forward to seeing him after this past deployment. My parents (his grandparents) will be all moved into their new home here is Aiken by then, so his homecoming will be especially good for them.

I hope that all was well with all of you.

This Is Just The News I Was Looking For...Really

Today's news from The Register is awesome. The story is about a psychic museum that didn't see that it was going to close due to unforeseen circumstances. My kind of story.

Kind of like The Psychic Hotline which would be really impressive if my phone rang just when I was thinking of calling them.

OK Sis. OK.

I love my sister. She would never say this but she is the SHIT out in Phoenix when it comes to real estate. She is president elect of the West Maricopa County Regional Association of Realtors, that now has over 6000 members.

Anyway, we don't talk often, don't really have to. She keeps track of my "doings" via this blog. As you can see I haven't written in a month and Sis sends me an email reminding me to blog. So here I am!!

There has been SO MUCH to blog about in the past month I just haven't taken the time to do so. Highlights in the last month have been Apple's iPhone and a number of things happening in the real estate business for me. We have had family challenges, church struggles, and personal issues. Since I am somewhat private I can't go into details, nor do I want to. Maybe later I will do a re-hash.

I have an open house today at one of our townhome's in Aiken. I sit from 2-4 and watch as people stroll through the home and answer any questions they may have. We have three left to sell (out of five) and our investors will move on to another project.

Jen is going to church and then afterward we will be going downtown to the Aiken Brewery to watch the Superbowl. Maybe I can get the first half in before going off to bed for the start of another week at UPS.
