CM, what are your days off going to be at the Borgata?

I asked for them to stay the same from the old place, which was Wed/Thu. It's still not confirmed. I should know something by the end of this week.

I like to eat cereal in the morning.

I like to eat cereal pretty much any time of the day.

I love it when a professional "flipper" says a house is available to be shown at a certain time and I show up and there are eight other people there, four of which have already filled out the paperwork.

At least give me some disclosure that there will be competition. I think the lady just wanted to start a bidding war.

It amazes me that in today's market, people are still trying to make a living off of flipping houses.

Couple of quick points for the box before I delve into a boatload of work today.
  • Big Apple BBQ was amazing
  • I apologize for causing controversy here in the box, but I had brisket from the Salt Lick (Driftwood, TX) - didn't live up to the hype
  • NY has officially changed its name from the Big Apple to the Baked Apple. Holy hot. But I love it.
  • I took home the grand-prize at a local cooking competition last night. Yahtzee.
  • I manged to convince 8 people at said cooking competition that they were eating Puffin
  • I'm putting an offer on a house today (yikes)
  • Friday night I witnessed someone drowning who wasn't in water. One of the most humbling yet fascinating experiences of my life.

We still have a housing market in the "greater" Houston market

I understand that Houston is one of the (few) places let that still has a decent housing market. But, is it really still strong enough that it is a buyer's market (more of less required for someone to be a really successful flipper)? I would imagine a lot of new buyers are struggling to get financing in Houston as they are in many other parts of the country.

Alright, how many other Apple geeks do we have in The Box? Anyone else have their credit card out ready to pick up the new toys announced at WWDC? Don't forget to go through Shop OnePass to pick up some miles in the process. :D

Bring on the 3G iPhone and please give me a 32GB version!

I was waiting for the 3G iPhone. As soon as it is released, I'll go buy one, then unlock it to use w/ T-Mobile. No way am I getting locked into a 2 year deal w/ AT&T.

I am not a huge Salt Lick fan, so no controversy from me.

You witnessed a dry drowning? :eek:
