I was thinking about you all in and the family in and around Mad City. I wanted to find an icy Lake Mendota and "shout out". Unfortunately I couldn't find any in during the winter but I'll share what I have in my next "miro-post" :-) DC's headed or has gotten another 20 inches off what you're watching if the weather people were remotely accurate. That just shuts us down. FORTUNATELY in in San Francisco! I think I got the best out of the deal, at least this week :-) Great to hear from you...and looking forward to finding you and the crew more on "the twitter"...

]]> Comment on Bethesda More Snow: Picture in Downtown Bethesda by Madison real estate http://greaterbethesdaonline.com/bethesda-more-snow-picture-in-downtown-bethesda/comment-page-1/#comment-273 Madison real estate Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:21:27 +0000 http://greaterbethesdaonline.com/?p=822#comment-273 For once we're not the only ones buried in snow! Have to admit, though, it does seem a lot odder for a place like Maryland to be getting that much snow. Or should I say it's odd for Maryland to be getting any snow?! Does it normally even snow in Maryland? ~lol We Madisonians are kinda used to it by now. Heck, I remember once it was 90 degrees below zero with the wind chill here (dunno when but it was sometime in the 1970's). And we used to make igloos out of the piles of snow at the bottom of the driveway. Anyway, happy digging yourselves out! Believe me, if there's one benefit to all that white stuff it's that you'll never, ever take Spring, Summer or even Fall for granted again! :-D For once we’re not the only ones buried in snow!

]]> Comment on How Do You Feel About the Person Who Sold the Michael Phelps Photo? by Eric Blackwell http://greaterbethesdaonline.com/how-do-you-feel-about-the-person-who-sold-the-michael-phelps-photo/comment-page-1/#comment-7 Eric Blackwell Wed, 18 Feb 2009 22:08:56 +0000 http://greaterbethesdaonline.com/?p=190#comment-7 That is an interesting question. I personally would not sell it. Not out of sympathy to Michael or anything like that...more because I respect peoples' privacy. I tire of the photo parasites and hangers on that live off of people like him...and having to pay a mortgage doesn't change right and wrong...just takes a little more courage to do the same thing. Michael deserves what he gets in the form of negative publicity...and if the sponsors want to stop paying him because is value to them is diminished because folks cannot see him without getting a contact high, then so be it. Yes. Some mistakes are more expensive than others. For him this was big. I do feel sorry for him...but one of the perks of fame and exposure is money. One of the risks of fame and exposure is falling from grace and not only being mortal, but making the same mistakes that many make. <abbr><em>Eric Blackwell’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.ericonsearch.com/best-blog-post-practices-examples/" rel="nofollow">Best Blog Post Practices - Examples</a></abbr></em> That is an interesting question.

I think your observations are correct - I work a state capitol market (Sacramento) and the same issues happen here - Most of the workers (even if they are affiliated with a party) are career employees. It would be nice if you had to buy your client a dinner - even nicer yet if his condo sells. Gretchen I had been curious about the effect on the DC market when I saw Cal’s post.
