New Bern Parade and Flotilla Rolled Into Downtown
Monday, December 8th, 2008Over this past weekend, I saw clowns, bands, floats and Lighted boats all in one day!
On Saturday, the New Bern Parade started at 4pm. It began on the upper end of Broad street, ran down the middle of Craven
Street and ended at the Sheraton Hotel.
The Flotilla began at dark at Union Point Park. The Marine Corp brought their best to begin it all.

Oil and Gas Stock Prices Take A Tumble, Why Not Our Gas Prices at The Pumps?
Monday, September 15th, 2008The TV show “Fast Money” has the oil and gas stock prices down today, Why then are our gas prices still showing over $4.00 a gallon?
Take a look at any gas station in New Bern and Havelock NC today and you still see gas prices from $4 dollars to $4.50 a gallon.
Rumor has it that the increase was due to Hurricane Ike but now it has come and gone and still prices remain the same.
How about giving us a break. Do the oil companies really think we are that dumb? No, just know that we have no choice.
Either buy gas or don’t drive. Great choice gas companies, thanks for the gouge!!
As Real Estate Agents, don’t you think we have enough issues besides dealing with increased gas prices?

Friday, August 1st, 2008Avoid getting Caught up in the SEO Web, Hire Talent
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008Hey you, yes I mean you. Do you ever feel like your tangled in an SEO web?
Everyone these days are talking about what to do and not to do when it comes to the Internet ranking of your site.
I have read so many articles on this subject that my eyes are about to pop out of my head. Everybody has advise.
For example, when did it become a fad to miss spell words in order to get traffic directed to your site?
Before you could use links to optimise your site,I think you still can but be careful, there are some major penalties for this if you link too much and the link is not relevant to the content that you are writting about.
As a Real Estate agent, I have to say hats off to the people that SEO for a living. Give me a Buyer or Seller any day over a messy confusing system that they have to deal with on an hourly basis.
By the way, any good ideas on how to hire these people?
New Bern NC Soccer Team Wins Beast Of The East
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008February 1st and 2nd was a great weekend.
The girls had to play 4 soccer games over a two day period, 2 games on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday. Two of the games I might add, being a parent of one of the girls was at 8:30am and 1 hours driving time away. There is nothing like driving to a game when it is still dark and 38 degrees.
This particular tournament used points to determine the winner, some do not. Going into the final game our team had 28 points and their opponent had 19. ccording to the rules our team had to win that game, even though they were undefeated in-order to win tournament.
We dominated the field and the girls received their gold medals!!
