Sacramento Who?

Posted by John Lockwood on December 27th, 2009

Hi folks.  Remember me?

No, really, I’m hurt!  I’m the guy who started this blog, way back in the fabulous sixties.  You remember, Bob Dylan, Gilligan’s Island…

No, sorry, I’m confabulating a bit.  I guess I started this blog in 2002 or thereabouts, but for the last year, Purva Brown has been doing such a bang up job of keeping you informed about real estate happenings in and around Sacramento that that’s freed me up to pursue a different day job, in my old world of software development.  You know, twiddling bits and bobbing for booleans.   True or false:  “Programmers love booleans.”

Earlier this week, right before Christmas, Purva was involved in a more crucial labor, giving birth to a totally cute little boy.  Now I’m no journalist, but I can copy and paste from the official Facebook announcement as well as the next guy:

Hucksley James Brown was born 2:08am on Dec 20th. Weighs 8 pounds 12 oz. and is 21.5 inches long.

Well, by golly, congratulations Purva and James (Purva’s husband, who gets a middle name credit as you can plainly see).

I’m not going to go posting cute photos even though trust me this kid looks fantastic peeking out of a Christmas stocking.

Pretty great news, huh?

It looks like Purva’s already done the real estate market update for all the counties, but what I thought I’d do is to put together a sort of emeritus post on the Sacramento numbers.   Many of you will recognize “emeritus” as the Latin word for an old guy who used to know what he was doing but then went senile.  Saying it in English is just to cruel.  That’s what Latin’s for.

Congratulations to Purva Brown
