Placerville Real Estate Blog

Well, here it is 4:00 AM on Blogathon launch day — that seems an appropriate time to start! I may retreat for a few more winks before the official start of my day, but meantime I’m up and the coffee is hot, so I’d like to start out by thanking those folks who’ve encouraged me so far and the only person to make a pledge to date, Judy Onorato of Financial Title. Judy’s generous pledge has started us off, so now I have to come up with twenty posts. Oh darn, I’m a blogger and I have to write twenty posts.

This is almost as awful as having to eat some chocolate or something.

Thank you Judy, for helping out.

Being an early adopter means that someone in El Dorado County or Amador County who wouldn’t have enough to eat otherwise now will have, and how cool is that?

It also means that Judy’s donation is subject to some of our $ MATCHING FUNDS $ .

(I thought it would be nice to establish a typographical convention early and often for $ MATCHING FUNDS $ .)

The point of that is that there are two hundred dollars of John Lockwood Associates corporate bucks available to match the first two hundred dollars in contributions that you make. And depending on how many remote contributors chime in, and we already have four or five, there’s up to $100 in additional matching funds available.

So, thank you already on what’s barely the first four-AM day to those remote bloggers who’ve already chimed in briefly and agreed to participate, Dustin Luther, Fraser Beach, Hanan Levin, Jim Cronin (who’s checking us out — how we doing so far?), and the bloggers/teammates Maureen Francis and Dmitry Koublitsky.

Thanks finally to Cori Whalen at Placer Title, who’s handed out our fliers and talked us up quite a bit here locally.

Thanks as well to Bridget and Helen, my fellow bloggers who’ll be chiming in as we go along.

With that, I have thirty minutes left.  How many winks is that?
