As you may have already noticed, I took some time to visit with Greg Swann and his way cool lady, Cathleen Collins. As you can see in the picture Greg put in his earlier post on this visit, nobody will ever mistake me for Burt Reynolds. And to his credit, Greg described himself as a ‘Fred Flintstone’ type. Turns out Greg is an honest guy.
I probably had the RCA Dog look on my face most our time together. Seriously, you look at Greg, then at Cathleen, and regardless of his ‘the poet always gets the girl’ mantra, you wonder what happened. 🙂 If I were going to attach a movie title it would be Fred Flinstone Meets Cinderella. Of course, to be fair, folks who know my wife and I might say Bride Of Shrek.
I enjoyed our time together immensely. They’re brilliant, gracious, and humble. Regardless of the $100 words Greg uses when writing, he’s a regular guy who obviously found his princess. But seriously Cathleen, no poetry is that good.
I also had the pleasure of breaking bread with Russell Shaw. But that’s another story entirely.

Glad you enjoyed your time with Greg and Cathleen, just like I did a couple of months back.
But now they went ahead and posted your photo as well, and now they’ve posted two ugly dudes that visited. I hope that in the future their guests are easier on the eyes than we are.
But hey, at least I have hair…. for now.
Meeting Greg and Cathleen of the real estate blog world is like meeting the president and the first lady of the USA.

They do wear the ‘Purple’ don’t they?
As far as hair goes, you may want to learn from my experience. I knew it was time when my barber of almost a decade told me his buddies made fun of him for giving me a ‘flattop’, taking my money, PLUS a tip. He then told me he’d take it all off for free if he could be the first one to do it.
I bowed my head in shame and had him do the deed.
