My Honeybaked hockey team has a game today at noon in Novi. I am looking forward to heading over that way for a few reasons, and the first being Fountain Walk. How can you not like this place? For the guys out there I'm sure we have all gone to Hooters for the great wings, and well maybe because ...

Yesterday I told you about a great chinese restaurant, and I got some pretty good feedback, so I thought on the way home from my closing I would stop and eat some food with the girlfriend instead of eating at home. There is a small family owned business that has been in business for 20 years. Thi...

I am a really big fan of Chinese food, so tonight I decided to eat at Chinese Delight on Grand River. The food is reasonably priced considering how much you get. I always get Egg Drop Soup, Crab Rague, General Tso's Chicken, an Egg Roll, and Fried Rice. I'm getting hungry again thinking about it....

I just read an article about rehabbing and flipping houses. he said that rehabbing is the way to go right now, but is this accurate? I think that both are doable, but they need to be done with the utmost care. This is not something that you can take lightly. I know someone that has recently start...

I just saw that this is going to be a great month for movis coming out on dvd. This week one of my favorite actors, Johnny Depp, has a movie hitting the shelves in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. I did not get a chance to see this in the theatres, but I was told it was phenomenal. Then ...

I just read a blog about finding the right tenants. It was at biggerpockets.com, and the link is http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2007/12/01/targeting-terrific-tenants-2/. You should check out this page if you are interested in buying a rental home. This is something that I would look at i...

I would say I am a little bit of a movie fan. Christmas time always seem to bring out the best movies, whether they be in theatres or on DVD. I am a huge fan of Christmas movies, so recently I went to MJR Theatre to see Fred Claus. If you are a fan of Vince Vaughn I would say this is a must see. ...

I have a question to the Active Rain community.  Why is it that we are here?  Well I think that is obvious, but for those that are not quite sure let me help.  We are all here for a couple of reasons": 1) we are here to network and grow our business3) meet and talk to other people in our business...

For some reason today I woke up at about 345am and was unable to go back to sleep, so I have been up working since then.   Not that most, well nobody really cares, but this is my blog and I'll ramble if I want.   I decided after a bit of looking at homes to look for a new quote, and I finally fou...

My last year of college I had to write a paper on whether or not ideas are innate.   Innate means that we were born with ideas such as how to walk, or play a sport.   When we think of something like this the best way to argue that yes we are is by using a guy like Wayne Gretzky, and how he was ab...
