Only In Marin: I Predict A Happy New Year
Somedays it’s tough to figure out what to write about. Other days it lands in your lap.
On an absolutely spectacular New Year’s Day in Marin County, 65 degrees and sunny, I started the New Year off with a bike ride over Mt. Tamalpais early this morning. Admittedly off the topic of real estate, but just last night at a party, I had a long conversation with a friend about how I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. Riding along West Ridgecrest, looking down on Stinson Beach and the Pacific Ocean over 2000 feet below, made me realize even more strongly how incredible this place is. I’ve done that ride dozens of times, and it never ceases to amaze me, especially since I can do the whole ride from my front door in less than two and a half hours.
When I got back home, on the front page of the Marin Independent Journal, ABOVE THE FOLD, was the headline, “Psychics Like Marin’s Energy for 2007.” Even my daughter, a freshman at UCLA and home on break, looked at it and said, “Only in Marin County would psychics and astrologists make the front page of the newspaper.”
She’s right, too. This is an Only In Marin story, and I wouldn’t live anywhere else if you paid me. And I think the psychics are right too.
They say it’s easy to sell what you love, and selling real estate here isn’t always easy, but is always something I believe in.
