I bought this LG TONE Wireless Stereo Headset at the Sprint store on Saturday under the pretense that it satisfies Illinois' new hands-free law.  *I would like to note that I went to the Sprint store because my cell phone refused to work on Saturday.... not to secure my status as a law-abiding c...

Continuing on with my rant regarding my "illegal use of an electronic device" ticket... Once I was back on my way to work... not talking on my phone; I picked up my bottle of Coke with one hand, UNSCREWED THE CAP WITH MY OTHER HAND, and then proceeded to enjoy a sip of my tasty beverage.  Then, w...

Tell me that image doesn't instantly make your heart race...  It's been a few weeks since I was pulled over and issued a ticket for talking on my phone while driving; and I finally feel ready to talk about it.  I was on my way to my office and I confess, I was talking to my mom.  As of January 1...

It's baseball schedule time.  Every year I religiously mail out (before opening day!) magnetic Cardinal calendars along with a nice, little letter.  I don't write Christmas letters (for work or personal purposes), but every baseball season is anointed with a personal letter detailing my goings-on...

Winter can go ahead and go away anytime now.  I know some Realtors put up with far longer and far worse winters than we have to deal with here in the Midwest, but the last month or so has really been brutal. I hate winter to begin with.   I’d much rather sweat than shiver.  But, when the weather ...

After months of planning and building and designing and decorating - our 2nd location is now up and running.  I was such an excited pioneer of our new "north" office until it came time to clean out my Collinsville desk today... Actually... I was fine while I was cleaning.  I removed all my post-i...

1house   noun, often attributive \ˈhau̇s\ : a building in which a family lives  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/house     For some people this definition may ring true, but not for me.  My house is so much more than “the building I live in.”  Sure my house is where I live – but it is, i...

Did you receive my Christmas card in the mail?  (My Christmas card that said, "Happy Holidays"...  a sore subject for many, I know....  That's a whole other blog post.)  If you're not on my mailing list, and you'd like to be; just say the word - I'd be happy to hook you up.  I always joke that my...
