Brrr… Temperatures outside currently topping out at 21 degrees, its about time!   Been a most relaxful week up here, a great holiday buffet last night in West Point, some good work done at York Street, finally up to code and can sleep better at night.  Great times with family, friends and loved ones. 

A couple of pictures from our newest vice, gambling!!  

       

 

 

 

Yesterday afternoon, sitting by the X-mas tree, enjoying the endorphin high from a most excellent run with my sister I picked up a book my brother was given for X-mas called “The Three Questions” by John Muth, based on a story by Leo Tolstoy.  A book about being in the moment.  Nicholi, a little boy, searches for the answers to three questions:  When is the Best Time to do Things?  Who is the Most Important One?  What is the Right thing to Do?   When, Who, What…  Time is our most precious commodity, cherish it and the people you spend it with well.. 

So, onwards and upwards.. Winter Days 07, I believe the 4th annual.  Perhaps a return to Sugarloaf is in order.  Could not find too many pictures, but here are a few from the first annual when Meg and myself almost killed ourself driving up to the Loaf, with Timmy and Bryn hot on our tracks trying to help, some ice fishing in Phippsburg and great food and fare at a tavern at the base.   Click here

Seasons greetings to all on this blessed day. 
Oh Silent Night, Oh Holy Night

Today, tomorrow, the future, the past, go go go… during this holiday season, during all the times, why does it seem that we are always rushing, or at least I seem to be always rushing, trypling to squeeze everything in to the day.  168 hours, 56 conservatively for sleep leaves 112 per week. Seemingly more than enough time for a 40, 50, 60 hour work week and then some.  Planning, sticking to your guns and following through. What does today entail for me…. planning on heading to York Street to help Timmy and Tessa, hoping to make a trip out to a lumber store, cooking dinner for a little gathering tonight, showing a multi unit and beging to develop a business system.  For those serious in taking control of their financial destiny, check out Robert Kiyosaki’s website www.richdad.com and start with his best seller. “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. 

 Sunny and 50, mid December, shorts, t-shirts, hmmmm, what is wrong with this picture.  Seems more like this trip I had and (just recieved photos to post ) of Cabo, Mexico for Will’s bacheor party. 

Great day of work done yesterday at York Street, a day today of real estating, holiday x-mas party for Green Tree and hopefully the launce of my newest endeavor MainePropertyBlog.com,  a website devoted to news, commentary and statistics on the local and regional Maine Real Estate markets as well as national trends and how technology is changing the landscape.

It looks like the gentlemen of 13 Highland may have a new roomate of the canine variety.  A rescue dog from Tennessee, narowly missing the throes of death and with a sexual appetite higher than poor Keira could handle, Bryn has asked her fellow brothers myself and Scot to take this great guy for a while, but perhaps we shall keep him.  Despite the minor chewing of shoes and socks, he doesnt shed, is house broken and as sweet and loveable as they come.  Picture to follow as soon as I get a replacement digital camera.  Quite a day otherwise, started fresh reading about the presidential hopeful Baraka Obama, managed to sneak a quick hour of work at York Street, a standard real estate day, a life changing event to say the least, a dinner out and a lovely viewing of “The Grinch who Stole Christmas”  plus a few fuzeball games to boot.

Well, what do you think?  New site, new look, new technology.  Let me know by emailing me if you wouldn’t mind As the web vaults forward and I progress in my knowledge and enthusiasm for attempting to stay on top of cutting edge trends, I most likely should have switched a long time ago to a content management system but alas… With the ease of being able to add links and pictures, better categorizing and archiving and a more logical layout I anticipate writing more although for the millions of fans out there, although I suppose I have never heard this one before!!  Holiday lights, Christmas cheer, Santa Clause and more, all one can do is adore!
