Our policy is that Cathleen Collins chooses our nominees for real estate carnivals. I trust her to be objective, particularly about my posts. The contributors are polled for nominations on Saturday night, with their suggestions going to Cathy. Sometimes I overrule her, and sometimes she asks me to cover for her.<\/p>\n

This week, Cathy got her short list down to four posts, one each by Morgan Brown<\/a>, Kris Berg<\/a>, Brian Brady<\/a> and me<\/a>, but she didn’t want to choose from there. She threw it over to me — heavy hangs the head.<\/p>\n

I checked and saw that nine of our fifteen contributors had written in the past week. So I entered everything of moment from each of us. That’s a violation of the Carnival of Real Estate rules, but this is my attitude: If we’re going to lose anyway, let’s lose our own way.<\/p>\n

These were the posts that I entered, starting with Cathy’s short list:<\/p>\n
