Top Ten Reasons Why I Hate Fox

10.) Major League Baseball interrupts primetime. (Isn't this what the many sports only channels are for or better yet WGN)

9.) There primetime lineup is mostly geared to the MTV crowd.

8.) Prime time only lasts 2 hours. (Probably because they keep canceling their primetime shows.)

7.) Thrives on shows like Trading Spouses.

6.) Uses Cops to fill programming gaps at all hours of the day.

5.) Has one high rated show and encores it every week.

4.) MAD T.V. (Do I really need to say more)

3.) Hasn't cancelled Stacked.

2.) They cancelled Kitchen Confidential after 13 episodes (However, only 4 got to air before the show was preempted for baseball)

1.) They cancelled Firefly after 13 episodes (Do we see a pattern emerging?)

Harry Potter

The new Harry Potter movie premiers on the 18th and I can't wait. To tide me over for the midnight premiere at the IMAX, there is going to be an online webcast that will run simultaneously with the real premiere in England! It's going to be tomorrow at 9am my time. (You all can figure out the time difference yourselves) I can't wait, I am so excited!

An A For Me

I just completed my first certificate and with a 91% to boot. (Golf Clap)

Today I took the online class for my TRC or Transnational Referral Certification. It was a great class and I learned that there are a lot of similarities within the international real estate community.

However, there are a ton of differences and with so many countries involved, it can be difficult to keep straight. Even in the United States there are differences in the transaction depending on the state you live in. (ie: Lawyers, Mortgages, etc) What a fantastic opportunity NAR has given us to not only learn a little bit about how other countries buy and sell real estate, but to learn how to communicate and referral to international agents.

NVAR Annual Conference

Here are the pictures from Tahoe!

I Left My Heart...

I just came back from San Francisco and WOW what a trip. I had such a blast that I just didn't want to leave. We had this fabulous suite that I have been waiting 5 years to stay in. There are pictures here.

Anyway, I was in San Francisco for the NAR conference and of course WCR. There were tons of great classes on how to grow my business and better assist my clients. I also got to meet some awesome people.

At the conference, Betty said goodbye and passed on her title to Gail. Gail's installation was beautiful and we had Idaho Potato Ice Cream for dessert. (Gail's the potato lady from Idaho) During the Governing Board meeting the next morning, Betty presided over her last meeting and even made Gary cry. (He's going to miss her, he just doesn't know it yet!)

Meanwhile, I finally met Gail's daughter Kerri and passed the First Daughter title off. It was great and kinda funny how we met. I was getting off the elevator the first day and talking to someone else and she spotted me. We introduced ourselves and hung out the whole conference. It was great to have someone else there to bounce ideas off of and to simply chat.
