Bad Cell Phone Etiquette. Don't call up someone and tell them you thought you'd call because with a little time to kill while you're donating blood and btw you have good cell phone reception at the clinic, well, why not? Ummmm. No....
Bad Dinner Etiquette. The former CEO of hubby's last flailing software company came for dinner with his wife over the weekend. They never would have known that I had protested vehemently to their coming given that in my opinion that former CEO didn't stick up for hubby when things got ugly. Nonetheless they are charming and interesting in their own way: she from Ireland and he from South Africa. Together they have three children and the wife obviously doesn't get out much. The third glass of wine had made her positively tipsy and the poor former CEO, himself quite animated from an entire bottle of red wine he had brought as a present and drunk for himself, kept imploring, "Dear are you sure you want to go to that black void?" 'Oh do', I thought to myself. Yes do tell me of your marital problems. Your almost affairs....
Good Real Estate News. I call it the 'Sanctuary Factor' i.e. look for continued strong growth in real estate provided you are a little smart about your investments. This is how the sanctuary factor works: the world is a pretty f****ed up place right now and certainly our polarized fanatics both left and right are doing everything they can to maximize our fears. Hence the droves turning to religion for comfort as we speak. For the more secularly-minded, there is real estate. No not real estate actually. Sanctuaries. Havens to escape to. Havens to escape from. Put it this way: in August of 2004 we spent $750K (top dollar) for our 'sanctuary.' A year latter we could get $900K. Simple as that. And this will continue.
