Our Fledgling Marketing Group

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – December 8, 2004 – It’s hard to believe, but our little marketing group of Sima, Dorothy, Big and yours truly met today for the fourth time. I know why the sages, past and present, say there is strength in numbers – because it’s true. The business of transacting real estate can be very isolating, and some days it’s hard not to feel lonely.

Kevin Richardson Reports On Yame And George – The end of year is a very busy time and very demanding as everyone tries to fit everything in before end of first week of December, so please bear with me if I haven’t communicated as often as I would’ve liked.

Tonight – 33 Years Ago

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – December 7, 2004 – Thirty-three years ago tonight, I was sitting in my dorm room at Renison College, at the University of Waterloo. I was in my fourth year of university, soon to spring forth onto an unsuspecting world, clutching my newly minted four year Arts degree in History and English. I had decided against accepting the scholarship for my Masters that one of my professors wanted me to take – I wanted some living experience!

The Departure Of Captain Dweeb

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – December 6, 2004 – I knew it was only a matter of time before Captain Dweeb left Ontario for parts known on our eastern seaboard. Captain Dweeb aka Twinkie is my good friend Glen of Scotiabank fame. He, of the Yonge and Eglinton branch, recently transferred to the great ivory tower down town, to sit near the other gods of banking – always casually dressed in robes of gold and bejewelled with diamond dollar signs.

Pig Tales

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 9 – So here’s the thing about pigs – pigs sometimes have jobs. For instance we have been used on battlefields to sniff out mines. I think we need danger pay! And in the olden days – big ships always had pigs on board because if they foundered in a storm the sailors believed that we would always swim for the closest land. We do love the water!

Writing My Christmas Message

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – December 5, 2004 – I used to send Christmas cards to friends, family and clients, but I gave up that practise a number of years ago in favour of writing a personal message. I prefer this sentiment to a scripted message from a card manufacturer. I can usually sit down and write a first draft in a matter of minutes – half an hour at the most.

Pig Tales

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 8 – So here’s the thing about pigs – and these are the details that we pigs are not so happy about – pork is the most consumed meat on the planet. “Hello” – “meat” – we’re not meat – we are sniggly – squiggly – little pink beings – who want to live just as much as you do. We are endlessly curious – we communicate constantly and we love too play and listen to music!
