“Hamilton” for the Hoi Polloi

Family Savings: $5,000(?)

Even if I had a $1,000 per ticket to take my family to see Hamilton on Broadway . . . I wouldn’t have spent it that way (I would’ve popped for a vacation, or a Bathroom remodel).

So, watching the musical on Disney Plus last night was a terrific — and economical — alternative.

Verdict?

It was every bit as good as billed — not just the leads, but supporting roles like Jonathan Groff as King George III.

To paraphrase a line from another famous Broadway musical, Oliver Twist: “More, please.”

“Meticulously Maintained,” Deciphered

Not new — but “meticulously maintained.” Real Estate Synonyms — and Antonyms True or false: “Meticulously maintained” means the same thing as “updated.” Give up? The correct answer is “False.” In fact, “meticulously maintained” is almost always Realtor code for not updated. Ditto for synonyms such as “well-loved,” “quaint,” “vintage,” “long-time owner,” etc. (all very nice things, by the way — just not the same as “updated”).

I invest in real estate with long-term rentals and house flips, although I also own a real estate brokerage. I love long-term rentals because they offer great returns which continue to pay you as long as you own the property. I also love to flip houses because of the money you can make, and it is a lot of fun to transform old houses into something new. What is considered real estate investing?

The Five Definitions (at least) of “I Can’t Look!”

Image
Definition #5: What Someone Says, Post-Neck Surgery You might not guess exactly how versatile the expression, “I can’t look!” is. That is, until you literally can’t look, thanks to recent neck surgery (mine – ouch!). Here are the other definitions I’m aware of: One. “I can’t bear to watch (someone — or something) come to harm.” What spectators say when the amateur juggler starts twirling razor-sharp machetes. Example #2: at the movies (remember those?), before the homicidal clown jumps out of the bushes. Example #3: Chicago Cubs fans going into the bottom of the ninth of a playoff game with the opposing team’s tie runner at bat. Two . “It’s physically dangerous to look.” Friend #1 during the solar eclipse: “Wow! Would ‘ja look at the sun’s corona?!?” Friend #2: I can’t, I’ll hurt my eyes.” Three . “I’m busy/preoccupied right now.” Four-year old girl (plaintively): “Tommy (older brother) wrecked my dollhouse!” Mother: “I can’t look (right now) — I’m in the middle of preparing ...
