My credit report has changed, I have a relative in Nigeria that wants to give me money, and tonight I got an email from John Kerry on the $600,000 that is owed me by the federal government. How lucky am I? So I'm wondering if anyone else is corresponding with the Secretary of State Kerry and if h

I can't help myself: this is a real addiction. Everywhere I go they are selling plants and I find myself coming home with some. Perhaps this addiction comes from my inability to work in the garden, or around my property last year. I'm not sure but I do know I am obsessed. I don't know the names o

I think there are times in life that require a Warrior Mentality. A warrior takes no prisoners and does whatever is necessary to survive. I have known warriors and watched them struggle and often marveled at the courage shown by them in the face of overwhelming adversity. Sometimes they survived

Tonight Garrison Keilor will open Tanglwood's 77th season with a live broadcast of Prairie Home Companion. The show is broadcast on National Public Radio and I listen to it always wherever it is broadcast from. I went last year and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. That said, the rea

Most areas have local farmers markets and mine is is no exception. I saw my Dr. earlier today for my annual physical and she was over the moon about the Saturday market in her town. Clearly she enjoys the process as much as the fruit, vegetables, fresh fish and other things. After losing herself

It's hot, and it is humid and the days of summer are really here. Some people refer to these days as dog days which I take to mean really killer hot. That said as a dog person I get really worried about the fur ones who are often abused and overheated in this weather and their owners don't even g

Any licensee can make a deal. Almost any licensee can close a deal. But the licensee who follows up after the deal is closed is the one who is in business for the long haul. I am constantly amazed by the number of agents who never speak to their clients once they have concluded the transaction,
