Trends To Look For In The Future

It was good I made a point to be at office earlier this morning, because I had a great deal of work to get done, along with following up with escrow companies on sales that'll be closing this week. What was ended up being the two big irritations of the day, was my not getting a response from three separate emails I sent out over this past week to a … continue reading

Support Of Russia’s Aggression

In spite of having a full day of sun, that north wind turned it into a biting-cold day, and especially if you weren't in an area protected against it. I was glad to have not had any reason to be outdoors for a given length of time.Once I had my Sunday morning prayer session completed, I went to the phone and called my dear friend whom I'd not v … continue reading

Back To The Words Envision And Create

With our overnight temps having dropped, I found my wool overcoat was needed again before I headed off to work early this morning. Hopefully it won't be too many more days until I can send it to the cleaners and then put it in storage until next winter's use.Upon arrival at office, I busied myself with following up on emails and then getting my … continue reading

Too Shy To Step Forward

Our cloudless skies were a welcome sight, but for whatever reason, it was noticeably chilly outdoors until mid-afternoon arrived, and likely due to the melting snow and slight wind coming out of the northeast. That chill was verified when seeing all the unmelted snow on the sides of buildings where the sun wasn't shining.After the banks and pos … continue reading

Kidnapped By The Russians

What a surprise it was to find so much snow on the ground this morning! As much as I didn't want to shovel anymore this year, out I went and got it done, and of course it was plenty heavy which is normal for this time of year. Of course by the time mid-afternoon arrived, most of the streets and sidewalks were already dry.When I got back to offi … continue reading

Puddles Of Pity

It certainly ended up being a delightful day of March, but it sounds like we may be getting some snow starting around midnight. I'm hoping it'll be nothing more than a little dusting, and as chance would have it, just today, one of my customers noticed I still had a snow shovel in the back of my vehicle and asked why it was there. With a smile I re … continue reading

A Similar Mindset

It was an up and out much earlier this morning, and the only reason being, I needed to make sure everything was in order at office before I had to head out for a very long drive. With everything situated at office, I proceeded on my long journey which had me driving in the dark for over an hour before the sun came up. I really don't have a problem … continue reading

Make Her Mistake Look Like Mine

We couldn't have had a larger turnaround with our weather when finding it downright pleasant this morning, and mostly because that wicked wind had finally subsided, and since we've officially landed on the first day of Spring, let's put away all those nasty thoughts of dark days, snow, ice, and Alberta Clippers until we're driven back into it later … continue reading

About To Sell What Remains Of His Soul

It was another bone-chilling Sunday morning, and since I had to do a quick check on a vacant home, I was out in it more than I wanted, so by the time I did make it to office, my fingers were feeling like icicles.One I had my Sunday contemplative session completed, it was time for me to head over to St. Paul Lutheran, just so I could get some pr … continue reading

Would It Be A Better Way

Another biting-cold day arrived, but fortunately it appears our wind will be going down with the sun this evening. It was quite the crazy weather week we had, so perhaps the coming week will be far better, and from the looks of it, we shouldn't be having anymore mid-winter temperatures from here on out.Once I had everything at office completed, … continue reading
