I hope that everyone enjoyed their Labor Day.  Did you know that the founder of Labor Day has been a contested issue for some time between Peter J. McGuire and Matthew Maguire?  Research seems to support that Matthew Maguire serving as Secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York on September 5, 1982 adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic. I would also like to thank you for your support as my business continues to grow.  I am never too busy to assist you, your family, and business associates with their real estate needs.  Your business and referrals are greatly appreciated.  Though the market is slightly down and it has some of my fellow Realtor associates throwing in the towel, I have experienced growth in my business by over 20%. ... 09/01/2008

An Evening with the Wiggles - A Humorus Look at a Successful Business Model | Jeremy Williams of Keller Williams Realty NE This evening I took my wife and daughter to the Wiggles concert in Houston.  It was a Wiggly good time.  My 2 year old daughter was fascinated by the two minute jingles, the filler time between songs (providing the Wiggles a quick breather), and the thousands of children jumping around in their seats (which by the way they require all children to purchase a seat which they never use).  While you may think these guys seem a little off the rocker, they are laughing all the way to the bank.  I have heard, but not verified that the Wiggles are one of the top paid groups in the entertainment business.  With cheap seats starting at $50 (remember you also have to purchase ... 08/03/2008

I would like to salute Air Force Capt. Brian Erickson, a Kingwood High School Graduate (1997) who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor on July 11, 2008. Captain Erickson is credited with saving the lives of six German (part of the Army coalition ground forces) soldiers who were pinned down in a dark valley in Afghanistan on October 16, 2006. A B-1B Lancer bomber was sent to support the embattled German team but was forced to give up due to weather conditions and the steep mountain terrain which restricted the bomber's effectiveness.  The daring two hour mission is a true "Top Gun" story of a pilot and his wingman. Erickson's wingman flew above the weather to guide Erickson, who essentially was flying blind. Captain Erickson was forced to turn off his infrared screen bec... 07/30/2008
