“ Live where you want, but Invest where it makes sense”. Contra Costa County has many of the best investment opportunities in the Bay Area, as well as the entire State. Why go out of state when the deals are right here in your own backyard? The grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence, especially today. Home values have plummeted for three years now in much of the Bay Area. However, as I’m sure you’re aware; values have stabilized and are moving up in many areas.  Properties tha …

The "Dancing with the Stars" series has sprouted new and enduring interest in ballroom dancing; health practitioners are promoting dancing as a healthy exercise for physical fitness as well as prevention of dementia and Alzheimers.  I remember the joy at age 11 learning the 2-step (poor man's fox trot?) to "You Belong to Me" and the hesitation waltz to "Tennessee Waltz" at Francisco Jr. High in San Francisco; later the thrill of "getting it" after learning to jitterbug, and still later the mambo …
