You Can Talk To Us, You Know

Most of you probably don’t realize that as of a few days ago, YOU can post your own comments, anonymous or not, with each post on our blog. It’s live. It’s real. It’s uncensored (mostly). But best of all, it’s YOU.

So, where it says “Comments” after each post, let your voice be heard.

Carol Burnett for MD Anderson Cancer Center: Up Next, Tony Blair

I have just dried my eyes from hearing Carol Burnett talk with Deborah Norville at MD Anderson’s fund-raiser this noon — thanks to my good friends at Whole Foods. All you young ones may not remember the days of decent television like we had when I was growing up. The Carol Burnett Show was one of the most successful variety TV shows in the history of television and went on the air in 1967. Carol reminisced and gave us some great “inside” stories…like the time she and Julie Andrews “kissed” to tease Mike Nichols and ended up shocking Lady Bird Johnson. But here’s the best take: this year’s co-chair Realtor extraordinaire Allie Beth Allman will be chair next year and will bring former Prime Minister Tony Blair to Dallas for next year’s luncheon. Is that not cool? Let’s get those seats reserved already…..

RE: North Oak Cliff Homes & We Buy Ugly Houses

Hey Todd, I’m doing my homework for you, too. Spent a long time yesterday with Dr. John Hayes, Chief Executive of HomeVestors — you know, those “We Buy Ugly Houses” people. (Oh my God, I am in no way suggesting you have an ugly house. In fact, just the fact that your home was created by you adds at least $25K to the value.) His investors, who are pros, say this is a great time to buy and lease. Deets later — I’m off to the Carol Burnett lunch at the Hilton Anatole.
