Rockies Win!! Tonight I watched the Colorado Rockies play against the Chicago Cubs.  It was an exciting game.  The Rockies won it in the bottom of the 9th with a 460 foot homerun by Gonzalez with a final score of 6-5.  The Rockies had the lead at one time with a score of 3-0.  But, going into the...

What do you do to relax? Yesterday I spent some time doing absolutely nothing.  I went to a nearby outdoor shopping mall, Southlands Mall, in Aurora, Colorado and decided to sit in front of the fountain and watch the kids playing in the water.  This was a nice relaxing hour for me.  I realized I ...

Not too long ago I wrote a blog, It's Time For A New Smart Phone, asking for advice on the Droid and the I-Phone.  I received some wonderful comments.  I went shopping this past weekend.  It was an interesting shopping experience.  I went to all 4 major carriers and spoke to someone at each locat...

I had to pass this along to my friends here on AR.  It just cracked me up.  One of my friends passed this along to me and so here it is..... Never question a drunk. I was shopping at the local market where I had just placed the following items on the conveyor belt. 1/2 gallon of milk 1 carton of ...

The other day, I looked up through my sunroof on my car after a hard rain.  And what a cool sight I saw.  I was lucky to have my camera with me.   The light spot is the sun trying to peek through the clouds.  Once I started my car and began to drive, the rain washed off and there were no more bub...

My little guy turned 11 yesterday!  Kobi is a Shiba Inu.  I picked him up when he was only 8 weeks old and just over a pound.  Now he is 11 years old (or 77 in dog years) and about 22.5 pounds.  Here are a few pics of him the day I brought him home. How could anyone not love a face like that?  He...

Every now and then success happens quickly.  Don't remain frustrated with this market.  Keep a positive attitude and things sometimes just fall into place.  I received a phone call the weekend of the Fourth of July from a gal wanting to make an appointment to talk about purchasing a home.  Since ...

As I was driving home this evening, this car pulled up next to me at a light.  With some quick thinking and a smart phone readily available, I was able to snap this shot.   Wow, how did she know I was such a great person?  She doesn't even know me, yet she's telling the world!  HA!  Actually, jus...

It is time for a new smart phone.  I am just starting my research.  I have been with T-Mobile for over 10 years and am finally ready for a change.  Since we are able to keep our phone number regardless of the carrier, that makes things easier.  In my area, there doesn't seem to be one service car...

I have posted several blogs about several odd and unusual city names around our country.  In the first installment, I discussed the city names that could be beneficial for our real estate industry.  In the second post, part 2, I went over the city names that would be detrimental to our industry. ...
