Carnival of Consumer Oriented Real Estate



Not often that this happens, but I have to say that this was far and away the best carnival I read this week. I didn't agree with everything and I didn't see an individual post I could wholeheartedly recommend, but original writing, the worthless, reptitive schlock was left out (How many times can you read the same thing and think it's worth your time?), and the carnival host didn't pull any agenda-driven tricks that run counter to the charter. Well done.

If you're in Dallas (or Fort Worth) and have some time, you could do a lot worse than standing with these folks, as they Welcome returning troops home.

Today marks eleven years since The World's Only Perfect Woman and I had our first date. We're going to another branch of the same resturaunt chain where we met for lunch and spent the next four hours talking (The branch we met at is just too cramped and crowded). Of course, we'll have the girls with us this time, but that's a good thing that the girls see Mommy and Daddy still celebrating the anniversary of their first date, and in a non-extravagant manner.



(February 13th is the perfect anniversary of a first date. It's a pain to deal with restaurants on Valentine's Day, and no one expects to go out two nights in a row, right?)
