Busy in Midland, Texas!

I gotta be honest with you: it wasn't just the spammers that kept me away from my blog here: I've been down right busy!

In the past two months, Williams and Associates has been building, selling and renting like never before. We can't keep up! The demand for rentals in Midland is through the roof right now and buyers are coming out of the woodwork.

So much has been going on, that my wife and I bought our very first home together! As if that wasn't enough, the move... UGH! Never doing that again. Next time, we pack a weeks worth of clothes, hold an estate sale, sell everything and start all over! (I should be so lucky!) But it's been great, we love the new house, our dog loves his new big yard and things are slowly getting back to normal.

In the meantime: Buyers for new duplex properties are lining up! We literally have clients and agents on a waiting list, hoping Mr. Williams won't slow down. So much for "retirement," J.W.! HA! Get back to work! ;)

Also in the meantime: Midland is STILL growing! Our second Wal-mart Super Center opens TOMORROW! Many people frown on Wal-mart, and that's fine. They aren't exactlly on my "christmas list" either, but hey! It's growth for Midland, and that's key.

What else? Midland is the proud home of a drive-in theater! Two screens out at Hwy. 80 and Loop 250 West. More details to follow.

I really have so much more to discuss, but no time right now! I'll try to do better tomorrow. But, before I leave you, I have to mention one more thing: Aikido of Mildand is doing great! Riggs Sensei has an average of 8 students a night these days with the hope of starting a CHILDREN's classes by Novermber 1st. Now THAT is going to be something! The renovations are moving along at a good rate, much has been done and it's looking very nice. Before you know it, all the work will be done, the new mat will be in and we'll be throwing each other around like ragdolls... which is also a good thing, believe it or not. ;)

Take care and I'll be back tomorrow with a little more details on Midland and the "haps" about what is going on around here.

Ciao !

Back on the air !

Greetings and salutations!

My apologies for being gone so long, but I have a good excuse: spam.

For those wonderful fans of mine who so enjoy my little blog, and want me to come "visit" their website... the answer is NO. I don't want to know about your "credit refinance" solutions and how to date (because I'm married, happily, thank you) or any of the other funky things I've been invited to go "check out" when I have time.

Due to spammers, I will no longer allow comments on my blog. People are invited to contact me via e-mail, and spammers will be labeled and discarded more easily.

Otherwise, there is MUCH to talk about so... I'll be back later today to post about: West Texas Writers new website, Jobs coming to Midland and the new businesses already here, Real Estate in Midland, Texas, Aikido of Midland's new location and the progress made on the renovations, a new Brazilian JuJitsu group in Midland and so much more...

DO STAY TUNED! I'M BACK !!
