Newcastle Square Realty Brokers are Available...
...to show property this weekend. As a reward for all of their hard work I had thought that I'd fly them all out to San Diego to see the Patriots playoff game against the Chargers but in a somewhat craven and spineless move the Chargers refused to sell tickets to anyone not from Southern California for fear of diluting their home field advantage.
To paraphrase an editorial in this mornings Boston Globe, were they afraid someone from the Northeast was going to yell "surfs up" and all the locals would leave?
But it's just as well. The phone has been ringing quite a bit today and most of the brokers are out on showings. I assume these must be folks from the New York and New Jersey area who have no interest in the playoffs now that the Giants and Jets are out of it.
So if there's a property you'd like to see or if you'd just like to talk with someone about living in the greatest state in the greatest region of the country go ahead and make that call. We'll answer the phone. At least until about 4:30 tomorrow.
Jim:
I noticed that you commented on BHB and wanted to see what you were doing with your weblog. I'm impressed.
You commented that authors should have something interesting to say. I normally wouldn't hit someone hard with a first comment but I saw that Pats logo staring at me.
So...considering my residency, I have only one comment:
It's going to be a long plane ride home tomorrow night.
Go Chargers!

That editorial is funny.

Thanks, Brian. And don't worry, the sun WILL come out tomorrow in Southern California.
Never bet against the Patriots; they are the Newcastle Square Realty of football!

I actually did pass on a showing appointment to another broker to watch the Patriots last week and I would have given up 2 showings to watch last night's game! Bring on the Colts!

What a game. Tom Brady is grace under pressure. Marty should be looking for a job. Hey! Are the Maine Freeze hiring?

Brian, The Maine Freeze are historically a pretty well coached team so that leaves Marty out. Some of his decisions yesterday were so dumb I half expected to see a flying Vonage box hit him in the head on the sideline.
Ah, Tom, I've been meaning to talk with you about your production. Have you ever heard of TiVo?

Sure, lets talk right after the Superbowl.
