The Hellhole is officially on the market even though the last finishing touches to the repairs aren't complete - long story, but ain't they all? But there's a sign out front and Rick The ReMax Realtor is on the job! I like that he's alliterative - lots of Rs. If you need a house or property bought or sold, you should call Rick.

He's also friends with my friend Anne (which is how we knew to call him) and like her, is active in local community theatre. She's directing a production of South Pacific at the moment, which makes it even more important to use Rick as your realtor: if you come to see him in the play, you can take photos of him in a grass skirt and coconut bra, netting a huge discount on those real estate commissions. That's what we're doing.
