R.I.P. Dennis Hopper

Dennis Hopper, one of my favorite actors, died today from complications from prostrate cancer. He will be greatly missed, and I hope his soul rests in peace.

Fishing, Real Estate, & Music...Oh My!

Last Thursday, was the first event for the Fish It Live It fishing league. We have 16 two man teams this year, and the fishing was anything but great on Gull Lake. There weren't many fish caught, but a couple of teams managed to catch a couple of nice fish.

I just heard today, that mortgage rates are going to be going down again! Sounds like a great time to be investing in Real Estate to me. Actually, since I have been in the business, there has never been a better time to buy.

On June 26th, SKATYRS is playing at Norway Ridge Supper Club for H.A.R.T. For more information about this great event, click here.

Open House

Spent a nice afternoon at an open house on Pelican Lake today. Met some nice people and got caught up on some paperwork at the same time...sweet!

CROSSLAKE - Small Town USA

Crosslake is one of those places on earth, that you want to keep coming back to. Lots of reasons why, but it's mostly because of the people who live here. They're great. When one hurts we all hurt. When one laughs, we all laugh. Small town USA at it's best.

As I've said earlier in my posts, our Real Estate market for buyer's hasn't been this good since early in this decade. Right now, you can buy a home on the lake at 2003 prices. Combine that with low mortgage rates, local banks with money to lend, and it sounds like it's a great time to be buying to me!

Bracket Busted!

My bracket was just busted big time. I don't remember that ever happening to me before...at least not this early. Northern Iowa deserved to win. They out played Kansas big time. I'd be much more excited for them if I hadn't picked Kansas to win it all!

St. Pat's Parade

Last weekend was the annual St. Patrick's Day parade in Crosslake. Crosslake has been throwing this parade for over 30 years. It has grown to the biggest one day event Crosslake has all year. This year, over 15,000 people were in town watching the parade and having a great time. Not bad for a town that has 1,000 year round residents. My band SKATYRS played in the Crosslake Town Square before the parade started, and except for it being a tad bit chilly, we had a great time and the people that came to hear us had a great time too. If you didn't make it this year, try to be here next year. You will have a great time...I guarantee it!
