"There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion." ~Winston Churchill Okay, I'll just be frank. It's "published opinion" in the East Valley Tribune (Phoenix area) piece: "American dream over? At least for a while, housing experts say" on the msnbc.com website. (To read article, click here or the thumbnail on the left. It will be helpful to understand what I'm talking about if you read the article first. It's not long.) And you can always tell when someone (a writer, the press) wants to prove (and/or promote) something (see my "sustainable communities" comment at the end). Because that's when the parade of so-called "experts" begins. (It started in the headline.) An "expert" (my definition) is someone with a degree that's lost his common sense. And what is it t... 06/02/2011

We're celebrating moms this coming Sunday and so I was thinking about the various gifts that they receive on Mother's Day and the ones they like the best. I tried to rank them in an order keeping in mind what my own mom would probably most prefer (especially the top 5). It might be different with yours, but I'm hoping I came pretty close to how you would list these yourself. So here I go answering the question... What Do Moms Like Best on Mother's Day? 15. Flowers 14. Candy 13. Hugs and kisses 12. Phone calls 11. No dishes 10. No laundry 9. Breakfast in bed 8. Balloons 7. Cards 6. Brunch 5. Pampering 4. Peace and quiet 3. Dinner out 2. Kids coming to see them 1. Hearing: "I love you" You might also be interested in: 10 Words That Say, "I Love You" (for Valentine’s Day) It’s the Great R... 05/04/2011

If there ever was a time to budget, that time is now. (Oh, you're saying, "What's a budget?") A budget is simply a plan. It's a plan on how to spend your money and keep from going broke. (Now you're saying, "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?") Everybody should have a budget. Families should have a budget. Businesses should have a budget. Churches should have a budget. Governments should have a budget. (When it comes to that fourth entity, we can only dream.) But it goes beyond just having a budget. (Right?) One needs to stick to his budget for a budget to work. It's the "sticking" part where many of us get in trouble. With this in mind, I've come up with the following quick list. May it add adhesive to your approach to financing (Get it? "Adhesive." Well I tried)... 5 Tips that Will... 04/19/2011

Have you ever wondered why God only created a 24-hour day? And then beyond that, why didn't He just make it so human beings didn't need to sleep? Just think. We could work all day and then work all night. And then we could just work all day and then work all night again. Wouldn't that be fun? Oh, I know, I know. You wouldn't work yourself to the bone like that. You wouldn't fill every waking moment with business. You would take a break. You would make room for relaxation. You would spend time with your kids (or grand kids). Not some of you. Some of you wouldn't. Some of you instead (and if you're not one of these, you probably know somebody like this) ~ you live and breath burning the candle at both ends. Some of you have been doing it for years. News Flash: It was you God created the ... 01/07/2011

It was my day off. That's when it happened. My kids said, "Dad, there's a whole bunch of police cars in our front yard." I said, "What?" Sure enough, there was a SWAT Team right outside our window in the street ~ about 8 or more of them all in formation, all ducked behind a shield. They were headed to the house two doors down. That's when the second thing happened. Boooooooooom! An explosion. It shook our house. Initially, we thought they'd shot the dog. (There was a pretty fierce pit bull in the home they were entering.) We found out later that it was "only" a grenade to disarm those inside. I told my kids, "Get away from the window. Do you think this is a game?" That's when I went outside to take pictures. (Yep. I did.) I would come in soon (my heart racing) especially after I saw th... 11/12/2010

"I remember the good ol' days." Have you ever heard anyone say that? Have you ever said it yourself (or thought it)? Maybe recently? Of course, this is a real estate blog where I write about real estate, too ~ but there's application no matter what your career, status or lot in life if you keep reading on. (I promise.) Usually in challenging times there's the tendency to think about days gone by. True? (It's a challenging time in real estate.) There's also the tendency to "romanticize" the past ~ make it "larger than life" and more than what it really was. That's not to say that things were never better at other times. (Not too long ago real estate was booming.) Past good times or past bad times, the fact remains we're alive NOW. We're living and breathing NOW. Our hearts are pumping, ... 05/04/2010
