Do you have any candy left from Halloween? My neighbor made my kids freeze dried candy and I can’t.stop.eating.it. There are these malted chocolate ones that are just unreal. Thank goodness each holiday only comes once a year…. These below freezing temperatures have made for excellent reading weather, and I hope you’ve been able to take advantage of it. I was able to read 11 books in October, of which eight were four stars or better. Here they are, in no particular order: The Last Green Valley and Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark T Sullivan are h...
Anyone who knows me is aware of the fact that I spend a lot of my free time playing video games. Video games have been a huge part of my life for a long time and I have spent countless hours enjoying them. I can still remember my parents gifting me Medal of Honor: Frontline on Playstation 2 for my ninth birthday. I credit that game for turning me into a true gamer. I probably replayed that game more than 50 times over the course of the following year. It has been a long time since I’ve played that game but it will always be one of my most f...

by TIna Daugherty October was a wet one. . . while there are still sales, this is when the market tends to get quieter. The inventory levels are down slightly indicating more of a seller's market, while seasonality certainly plays a role. Pending sales were down, which is a leading indicator, but again seasonal and indicative of a buyer's market. Those properties that are priced well are still going rather quickly and there are still the very occasional multiple offer, but it feels like the market is slowing a bit. The days on market median is...
