Usually I get a few call on Friday nights. A few folks think they can get a jump on the weekend home buying scene and they use the said prime time to call on homes. I love it.

Not this Friday last however. I wondered why. It was 08/08/08. Lucky numbers. Was it Kharma? Was it celebration of Little Hailey Hauer, born on that morning at 08:08 AM and weighing in at 8 pounds 8 ounces (metric nerds...eat your heart out)? Young Miss Hailey H. will no doubt figure out for herself that "H" is the 8th letter in the alphabet.

Was it John Edwards coming uhhhhh clean on his affair. That would have made for great Presidential fodder. Think of the headlines -- "EDWARDS ADMITS TO HAVING 'FIRST LADY OF THE NIGHT'"?

Whatever, no calls. It was, after much thought, simply the Olympics kicking in. Lots of fireworks and people running around in funny colors -- The Sports World morphs into Disney. Beach Volleyball as a Gold medal sport uh-huh yeah (women jumping around in bikinis -- oh yes).

I took the time off from the phones. Watched the History Channel.

Today is back to business. 8 is lucky, they say (except in billiards). I've got a great house numbered 88. Take your Olympic endorsement cash and use it for the Down Payment.
