Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
The holiday season is situated perfectly. It gives us the opportunity to show through gift and fellowship how much our friends have enriched our lives for the past calendar year. It also let’s us get those last couple big meals in before we all resolve to lose thirty pounds next year. I’m blogging today to [...]

So my son is five. He says some pretty funny things on a regular basis, but today he says a couple Dousys! This morning we were in his room and he said “Dad, are my fish old?” I said, “Yeah buddy. They’re really old.” (we’ve had them for well over a year.) He replied “They’re [...]

Check it out! A week and a half later, and I’m STILL blogging! This is like 3 times longer than any other attempt has lasted. As mentioned in an earlier post, blogging is one of my New Year Resolutions. I’m getting a running start! Do you have an attic? I’ve recently sold several houses that had attics [...]

If there’s one thing I’m horrible at (and there’s plenty!) it regular maintenance on my stuff around the house. You know… there are only so many hours in the day. But I’ve also been the victim of costly repairs simply because I didn’t do simple regular checks on important systems in my home. Here are [...]

I remember the good old days of RONCO. You know, Mr. Microphone, The Pocket Fisherman, and of course the “Set it and Forget it” Showtime Rotisserie. Ron Popeil could sell anything on TV. Go to Google and type in “Ron Po” and see what shows up first. That’s respect! I don’t know that I owned [...]

It’s winter, which means the last thing any of us are thinking about (at least here in Springfield IL) is exterior remodeling. The most exterior remodeling I’m going to see in the next couple months is people taking their Christmas lights down. That makes it a great time to consider some interior remodel jobs. Big or [...]

I’ve got two resolutions for next year. Yeah, I know how well they’re worked for all of us in the past, but I’m feeling good about these. The first is to start a WebShow based loosely on this blog (answering Real Estate questions, etc.) The other is to do some major minor upgrades on the [...]

Oh, the pitfalls of new technology! Yesterday I was so excited that I actually got a second blog post out. Last night I got on Facebook and saw that my blog feed sent the exact same update out to my Facebook Fans and Twitter followers THREE times. It was of course my fault. A mere [...]

It’s amazing how many people we REALLY know. Since I have started my blog, I went through my Facebook friend list to invite people to my fan site so they could get updates. I currently have 600+ friends. Now, to me, that seems super excessive! I mean, who can know 600+ people? Well, I went [...]
