June 17th, 2007 Family Life

Welcome Carnival of Real Estate fans to my home of Bristol, Connecticut.

Connecticut is notable for having next to zero professional sports teams and was thus the Switzerland of Sports for ESPN to set up shop in.

So without further ado, welcome to the highlight reel for the “Top Ten Says of the Week”.

Thanks for the visit to Reagent in Connecticut. While you’re here, take a moment to look around. I have two daily posts, The Bad MLS Photo of the Day and The Feed Bag. Plus most days I have a few more posts just for fun or something more serious. My driving passion is a journey into discovering How To Take Good Real Estate Photographs.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I appeciate it.

Athol Kay aka Sock Puppet.

    […] The Carnival of Real Estate Blogs is up and running at the RE Agent in CT blog. I am happy to report that we made the top 10 posts this week (#6)…thanks to the newspaper advertising fiasco we had earlier in the week - I would like to thank the newspaper ad rep for the inspiration. […]

  2. Kris Berg Says:

    I thought Connecticut and California were only three hours apart! Thanks for the honor, Sock, even if you are a day early. :)

  3. Athol Says:

    Last day of school tomorrow for the little ones. A prize giving thingy, a half day of school, my usual blogging stint, yada yada yada. I just grit my teeth and got it done. I forgot all about that it’s meant to be a Monday release.

    Meh the deadline was 3pm, so it’s done.

    It’s Monday in New Zealand. Thats all that matters. :-)

  4. Austin Realtor’s Wife Says:

    Great picks; I have three (new to me) blogs on my reader- thanks!

  5. B.R Says:

    What a Professional- and your daughter is adorable.

  6. Rob Beland Says:

    What an honor…

    I can only say I hope to continue to provide you all with insightful reading material.

    Thanks Sock!

    and Thank you to the Audio guy at Lake Compounce for accidentally screwing up the audio track at their concert and ultimately exposing Milli Vanilli as frauds…(a little Bristol, CT trivia)

  7. Athol Says:

    Yup the Milli Vanilli thing happened here in Bristol. Though nowdays it seems like every pop group lipsnycs, so… :-/

  8. Brian Brady Says:

    Excellent job, Athol!

    I particularly loved your daughter’s Father’s Day post. My daughter, Maggie, turns six this week and is dying to have her own weblog. She wants to call is “Bulldog Blog” because she knows I write on Bloodhound.

    Perhaps our kids will have group blog one day.

    Hosting the Carnival is a ton of work and you are to be commended and thanked for your work.
