Philemon is lucky he didn't suck up some dust bunnies or hair with his impressive impression. I took a look on the web for today's best impressionists and I'm sad to say that what/who is considered the best can't utter a sentence without a profanity or twelve. It makes me miss the days where come...

Community service is a wonderful thing. There are those who love to volunteer for various causes, and there are those who are ordered to provide community service by the order of a judge. ALL forms of volunteerism is appreciated, but those who have volunteered while also serving our country is ex...

Who doesn't love that Garth Brooks song BUT who really wants to live that song? Not me.Starting the day with a deep breath (and a prayer of gratitude) is a great way to start a day BUT a plan or even a routine for the next 16 hours is also a good idea.Being retired from Real estate about ten year...

Think of the main entree (musts) and the "sides" (things that would be nice but not necess...

Sometimes we long-time professionals forget one of the basics related to our profession. This simple question may explain a lot about a home's marketability. While 99% of the time I would check the days on market there is always the exception to the rule. There are always basic questions that on ...

I vaguely remember something from the Blues Brothers movie about a meat sandwich without the meat. Found it! It's an 18 second snippet from Meatball Sandwich.Obviously Timmothy got his comic idea today from my recent diet. Don't ask 😢.Real Estate tangent.Many, if not most, homeowners give gardeni...

Titus and Philemon have reason to look worried. Cuy is what the meat of a guinea pig is called. Cuy is the Unexpected Star of Peruvian Cuisine. When exploring the unique gastronomy of South America, cuy truly captures the essence of the Andes. This rodent, commonly known as the guinea pig, has be...

A warm welcome is a GREAT first impression. Often, when a soldier graduates from Boot Camp they are sent off to a base far from their home and the environment they are used to.We citizens of base communities like to think they will arrive here and be amazed at what a great place we have here and ...
