BLINDS WIDE OPEN -day 23 Sparks

When you see Sparks as the headline, you might think I am going to talk about love or that initial hot flame, not the case, I will save that for a later dialogue. This is about my friend Sanford Sparks who now lives in Arizona. I had sold a couple of his Condos before he up and left the Conejo Valley. I can flat out say that I miss this man who will be 87 this year and still plays 3 rounds of golf a week. He is funny, alive, happy and lives his life to the fullest. I miss losing 3 or 4 quarters in the 9 holes we often played. It is such a challenge in this job to stay in touch with people that were clients, but now, more significantly, are friends. If I had a wish, I would wish for 1 extra hour a day, just for the ability to, as AT&T says, reach out and touch someone. I am committed to reaching out more and if I have misplaced or forgot or been too busy, please reach out and touch us. Speaking with Sparky this morning, was another reminder of how precious friendships are! Stay in touch.
