By Peggy Hill.

No, OK, it’s not really Peggy Hill, it’s John Lockwood, functioning with a temporarily clean desk, and getting ready for:

• Christmas.
• The transaction that closes one or two days after Christmas.

It’s nice to have a transaction closing two days after Christmas. I’m doing better in the bad market than I did in the good, paradoxically.

Saturday I have a buyer that wants to go out and look at a couple of homes. No, I’m NOT writing an offer on Saturday and having it be pending on Christmas. So I hope she only likes the homes well enough to write an offer on Tuesday. That would be nice. First escrow of 2007. Well, the second, actually, more than likely — it looks like Bridget’s working on the first. You go, girl.

I welcomed Jen Yee to the blog the other day but then the poor kid got sick. So we didn’t blog this morning.

Linda’s working on a great blog post, but she thinks I can write so I think she’s intimidated. In the interests of motivating her, let me just say smurf gliggle sprutz.

Next year is going to be a really great year. More agents will come to work for me, and the company will grow and grow. Anyway that’s a foreward looking projection, more a hope than a strategy, but the implementation details will wait until I get over what’s going on in the next paragraph:

Where’s my long winter’s nap? I really was kind of hoping for a long winter’s nap. Today is the shortest day of the year, and believe me, on some primitive animal level I’m not even writing this, I’m already asleep.

Let me just work up the final documents I need for the transaction closing one or two days after Christmas, and then I will ensure that there are chips and dip.
