I miss my family

Hey
Sora and Eleanor have been down in VA since tuesday AM. I guess its kind of lonely in the house.

Since I am but frugal, i turned down the heating in the house to 68. I may drop it to 65. We'll see. Since I am the only one home, and I am not even home that much, its ok. i just bundle up more, and use a down blanket when I sleep.

When Sora and Eleanor are in the house, we usually keep the house at 71 - 72. But thats kind of killer on the bills. I told Sora to take eleanor to Ikea for a couple hours to conserve gas. It's all about the environment!

It is kind of boring in the house too.

I have formalized a relationship with a loan broker in philadelphia. If you are in pennsylvania and you want to do a REFI , or if you are interested in purchasing something, please let me know.
I created a new website. www.Samuelchon.com
Seems a little egotistical, but lots of people in the real estate industry seem to have www.theirname.com

We are still trying to build up the customer base. Every building must have a foundation. I am trying my best to present myself with integrity. I realize lots of sales agents are glossing over the details. To home buyers or sellers , that can be a little traumatic. I don't wish for anyone to have a shady realtor, but it seems to happen. It gives me hope that I can earn some business, the good old fashioned way, thru hard work and honesty.

Note: if someone advertises themselves as "Honest Joe". They're not honest. I learned this from a my dutch uncle. Not that he is from the netherlands, but he's like my uncle. a Real estate mentor type guy. On the flip side, i wouldn't work with a "Slackers Mortgage Company" either. Other names i would shy away from "Lucky". If it takes luck to do a good job... makes you think, maybe its not so good. But then "Hedge your bets Insurance". Hmm...

I like safeauto. the say "we keep you legal for less" well thats nice, but how about when your insurance coverage is so minimal it really doesnt protect you at all?

In retrospect, the only honest - X that works for me is "honest abe" Thats credible. a black beard and tall black helps with the credibility too.

In any case, its easy to get discouraged. Apparently a high majority of sales agents give up within a year. I have felt some of that. But, since i have a supportive wife, and prayer, i think i will be ok. Better than ok. Successful.

I went to the Philly Auto Show last week, Pretty cool stuff. I am thinking of getting a hyundai when we return the honda accord soon. The new veracruz suv kind of looks like a lexus RX clone. I want to give nationalism a shot and try out the hyundai. The Sonata V6 looked pretty nice too.
The new minivan offering from hyundai is called the Entourage. hehe. Which hip hop star or movie star is seriously going to roll up in a Hyundai Entourage? I don't see it. But they picked the name. I hope they didn't pay too much for that focus group.

So american idol is on to the hollywood stage. Apparently lots of people get cut.
I heard some good singers in the early stage. I think carrie underwood is still my favorite. Jennifer hudson who didn't win , is also high on my list. And George Huff.

This year, there seems to be some good performers with the right mix of vocal skill and good looks.

It should be a good season.

Lost started back up last night. Pretty good episode.

ok folks. ttyl
