John if you're vacation was that good, then why don't you tell about

hope your daughter is doing well.

Don't want to brag and don't want to bitch. But, I will say that there is a
lot of golf to be played in the Greensboro/Winston-Salem area of North
Carolina. I may just have to move to that neck of the woods.

Daughter's doing pretty good, considering. They had to remove part of her
thyroid, which adds another pill or two to take, but who's counting?

Her spirits are great! Thanks for asking.
I am working on moving to the Raleigh area. You can live on a golf
course and be close enough to a lake that all you non-working and
honey-do time can be spent leisurely. The is in stark contrast to the DC
Metro area.
Bert, are you thinking of the Falls Lake area? If not, what lake are you
referring to. I like the Lake Gaston area, but damn if I can find more than
one golf course up there.

Falls Lake and B Everett Jordan Lake look to be OK fishing lakes.

Compared to where I live now, houses are cheap down there!

Tell me about it. I could sell my house here, buy one for cash on a golf
course and still put a large chunk of money in the bank.


That's a big incentive for me also. Falls Lake appears to be bigger than
Jorday. Do you know anything about them? Falls Lake is also closer to
Richmond, and Wake Forest appears to be a pretty nice area. I don't know
much about the south side of Raleigh.


The majority of my time previously in the Raleigh area was spent inside
a computer room or at "The Keg", a nice little entertainment
establishment just down Hillsborough Ave. from NC State.

I haven't the opportunity to do as much scouting of the area as I have
wanted to. I've spent more time up north rather than down south these
past few months.

Why can't you live next to a golf course in the DC metro area? I drive
right by what looks like a very nice course with residences (South
River) when I go to Annapolis. I've seen plenty more.


I can stand on my back porch and throw a rock and hit the fairway of a
golf course right now. But, when the temperature gets into the 40's it
is a little colder than I like when playing golf.

You frequently claim to be "wealthier" than I am. I can afford one of
those houses, so you surely can. There's even a listing there with a 50'
dock...so you'd have a place to park your boat, if you ever bought one.


The question you have to ask is why are so many of the homes in that
neighborhood for sale and why are so many of them reducing the prices?
It could be that the golf course sucks.

Just because you can afford something doesn't mean you should buy it.

Remember the wealthy don't get wealthy by spending frivolously.

Because I can sell my house and buy two nicer places in Raleigh and have
enough left over to play golf for the rest of my life! The green fees down
there are from a third to half of what they are up here.

Your name is Bert?


Whoops!

Does Bert live in the DC area?


Just over in Montgomery County.

His reasons may be close to mine, and, you got to hear from me!


Bingo!
