New kids in town...
The road traveled, according to Yogi Berra: “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”
My blog that was posted on October 27th, transitioned from our wedding and move to Colorado and the real estate transaction challenges we experienced with our home purchase, to information about disclosures which are emphasized today in ways they were not ‘back in the day.’ Then I realized that I should separate my messages.
I will blog about some of the many lessons I learned from the experiences that found form in what became my first published book. I also hold a copyright on a manuscript called “Surreal Estate” that is shelved until I retire my license. That time is not on the horizon at this writing. I am currently writing on a novel, with a working title of “Record Player.”
In another blog, I will share some of my activities and experiences from the nearly 19 years of serving real estate clients along Colorado’s Front Range.
This is not CSI, so both blogs will emanate from Denver. As Bob Dylan wrote… “You ain’t goin’ nowhere.” The Bride doesn’t quote Dylan. However, her message is just as clear. My version is that you’ll know I’ve moved when you come to the wake.
When I talk with people about my book I am asked what it’s about and why I wrote it. I usually offer two simple answers. 1) The day Louisa and I were married; June 18, 1983…my three children and her two were ages 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12. After they get their breath back, I tell them that it’s about virtually everything that happened in our lives for the next 25 years. 2) ‘If you get to know us, we should give you hope.’ If you read the book, you will get to know us. Be cautioned that you may acknowledge your inner voyeur when reading “You Used To Live In My House.”
Another thing I tell people during that type of exchange is that 3 days after our wedding we moved all moved to Denver from Virginia, along with a dog and a cat. I DO understand the dynamics of moving.
It has been widely circulated that I am a coffee achiever, which I do not deny. Here’s an open invitation to visit over coffee, my treat, for those who purchase a copy of my book from my web site or one of the stores carrying it in Denver. If you’ve already done that remind me that I owe you.
Happy trails…
