Hello.  It’s been awhile.  Some of you were probably thinking, “John Lockwood, is that guy still alive?  I thought he died and Purva Brown took over his web site.”

Well, I’m not dead yet.  I’m keeping up on my fatty foods and my sedentary lifestyle, but these things take time.

Meantime, in case rumors of my continued existence weren’t a shock enough to your system, now is as good a time as any to point out that, contrary to the title, I’m not really getting any TARP bailout money, either.  Fatty foods notwithstanding, Congress doesn’t think I’m too big to fail.

I just poked my head in to make a couple of announcements.  First of all, Purva Brown has informed me that she has passed her California State Real Estate Broker license exam, so congratulations to Purva for that!  I guess it takes the DRE a bit of time to actually process and issue the license, since their site doesn’t reflect the change yet, but I’m sure they’ll catch up any day now.  Presumably the Department of Real Estate is waiting for their TARP money, too.

Less cool than Purva’s accomplishment from my point of view, though arguably of more direct interest to our readers, we have a new search page available that features Google Maps and automatically maps the listings from the search you run so you can check out the exact location — or, as the saying has it — the exact location, location, LOCATION!  I’ve linked to that search page from the navigation links (above) so you can check it out, though if you really hate change and want the old search back, just click on “Web Site” and you’ll see links on the left to the “Older Search Pages”.

I hope you like it.  So check out the new search page, and if you have a minute, be sure to congratulate Purva on passing what I know from experience is a fairly rigorous exam.

And stop saying those things about me.  I’m not dead.  I’m just napping.
