Excitement
Forget the World Series, the Super Bowl, the NBA Championship. There is nothing like a business deal for pure excitement, especially one where you have a whole lot to lose. My heart has been beating faster than usual for several days now, and I've been having trouble sleeping, because a great deal...

Change My Writing Style??? No Way Jose!
"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary...." There's a few writers here on Blogit and elsewhere that I really, really admire. I just like the way they write about everything, but especially the everyday minute personal things that say something about the way we live. It's...

I want to go back to college . . .
You want to cancel your reservation? The customer service rep at Hotels.com seemed surprised. Yeah, I said. I know I just made it less than five minutes ago. But my wife does not want to stay at the Rhodeway Inn. She wants to upgrade. So I want to cancel that reservation and book a room for two...

I've Got The Power
I've been working on a deal for over six months that, IF IT FUNDS, will net me a $12-$15 commission. But keeping this deal on track has been like trying to take the airport road in Bagdad. There's insurgents on taking potshots and planting IUD's trying to derail this trasaction from taking place....

Crackhead Named GM
I keep telling myself I do not care. I wouldn't want the job. I just want to do my thing, be left alone, and make money. And yet, when I read the announcement that they put crackhead in charge of the dealership, I immediately had to stuff my disgust and anger. Crackhead and his wife have been with...

Trouble is keeping me from posting ......
I'm behind on my video project, haven't seen my parents in weeks, haven't mowed the lawn and it's all because I'm flirting with Trouble the Skank. I've got to stop it. Went to Denton yesterday to see Sam and Doug. Sam is Better Half's nephew who is a soph at North Texas State. Doug is his Dad. Sam...

So Much Going On, What to Write?
I've got FIVE closings scheduled between now and the end of the month. Major money then, getting low on cash now, especially since I'm paying back past debts. I've been flirting with Trouble, and I can't explain it. There's just something about a skank that's appealing every couple of years or so....

The Company Picnic from ...
This is a true story, as relayed to me from my banker. His mortage company had their company picnic last weekend at the home of one of the vice-presidents. Mike said the home was located on three acres near the lake. As he drove up the gravel drive, he immediately noticed something amiss. There was...

Some Stupid Bastardo Stole My Cell Phone
OK, it was my fault. I left the car window a tad bit too open because it's been sooo hot these last couple of months. And I did leave my cell phone in the car, although it was "hidden" in the well between the seats. And when I left the vehicle, the thought did strike me that someone would hear my...

Woke Up, Got Out of Bed, But Didn't Drag a Comb Across My Head
I'm not really playing hooky, since I work for myself. There was nobody to call and say I wasn't coming in. And I have been on the computer. But for some reason, I just didn't feel like going into the office today. My secretary and processor can handle everything, if anything needs to be handled. I...
