Half Way To Being Protected From Getting The VirusIt is a common belief that the pandemic can only be stopped by all getting vaccinated. The more people that are able to get the vaccine, the less likely it is that it will spread further. Of course, there are no guarantee to this but the greater the population that is protected the better for all.This morning I got my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine.  In 3 weeks, I'll get part 2 and at the very lest there will be some peace of mind of me that I'm in a better position to not get the virus.

When You Know The People You VisitA blog post submitted by Margaret Rome today brought back a memory of a most unusual character that I had the good fortune to know.  He has long since gone on to his rewards and his way of looking at life was not one of 'If only' but 'So what'.He and his wife would love to sit in their living room at night and appreciate the flickering of the fire.  They would not always have the right fuel for the fire so occasionally the newspaper would get tossed in.As would be expected since the chimney maintenance was often ignored, the build up of debris and creosote would get a flicker of flame and start to burn resulting in the fire department being called.As it was close to the house, they were always there promptly.Also, as they were there too often, they knew... 02/10/2021

Martin Luther King, Jr Day  Jan 2021  Could His Vision Have Started In ConnecticutToday we celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.  If he were alive today he would be horrified as to where we have come and also distraught that his vision is not as close to reality as it should be.  His dream was for equality for all.The Waterbury CT Sunday newspaper had a large article offering details on a memorial to Dr King that will be dedicated in Simsbury CT on Monday.  The tablets of the memorial offer details of his time spent in Simsbury as a high school student,  who was among the many that were up her to pick the shade tobacco for which Connecticut had  great renown as the outer leaf for cigars.  This was in 1941 during WWII when most of the able men and women in the area were worki... 01/18/2021

Waterbury CT 2020 Year End Real Estate Market Analysis The year 2020 was an unusual year for so many reasons.  With the pronouncement of the pandemic back in mid February of the year, the world watched in disbelief as the virus spread at an incredibly fast pace and affected all ages all over the  world.As business ground to a slow halt, it was a matter of where could one go and how safe would we be.  In the world of real estate, the exuberance of the business that had started in 2019 started to slow the enthusiasm as people became wary of venturing into homes not knowing who was there or their health. Likewise, sellers were wary of having people come into their homes and possibly bringing in a bacterial issue that would infect their families.In spite of this, after a brief pause the mar... 01/12/2021

Before Ralphie There Was Howland Hughes in Waterbury CTAs a kid, the Christmas season was special and nothing in the area was as unique as the Christmas village in the basement of the Howland Hughes Department store in downtown Waterbury CTIt was a store in the model of Macy's or Gimbel's with the huge open atrium that went all the way to the top floors.  One could see the displays from below as well.  The elevator was attended by a person in a uniform with that lever actuator and close and open the gate before the doors are opened.But the heart started to pump and the eyes were large when we would go down stairs where the toys were neatly stacked and off to the side at the end of the toy aisles was The Place.  There was Santa's chair and all would line up for a chance to tell him what ... 12/24/2020

As I was passing a park this past summer, I noticed a lot of activity at the base of a reservoir retainer wall. People had cameras out and were highly focused at a gathering on the hillside.Not being in a hurry, I stopped to see what was generating the interest.  On the hill was a spread out formation of baseball players, all appropriately masked standing proud.Getting the team photo in a wallet size would make it tough to find your favorite player. There was a time when all just stood shoulder to shoulder.Not Enough Space To Take The Team Photo  12/12/2020

Real estate is a tough business to work in so many ways.  To survive, one needs to be aggressive; self-motivated; able to work with a client based on their times and not ours; and also capable of working a lot of self-promotion. The business of selling ourselves to a potential client starts online. It is a must as the product we are trying to sell is entirely based on Internet exposure as are most of the sellers and buyers.Social media has become the portal through which the business flows, and having the exposure and technology available to impress through this portal will differentiate an 'agent' from a 'good agent' through to the 'best agent'. Being a consistent blogger on the right portal cab get one recognized as the true professional in a given area, based upon the content of mate... 11/30/2020
