Well, its August 26th and I am now 25 days late to celebrate the 2nd complete year of running Matrix. This “birthday” dawned on me yesterday during my just-turned-9 year old son’s birthday party sleepover with 6 of his buddies. A lot of commotion and ruckus but the chemistry was great between them and the party was a success.

A feel the same way about this blog. There has been a lot of commotion and ruckus in real estate to write about over the past 2 years, but thats what made it so fun. In fact, its been a pure joy to work on, and especially to receive great feedback and insight from readers, colleagues and people who send private notes. I have learned a lot and would love to devote even more time to it than has been possible.

My first post to Matrix was on August 1, 2005 on a topic I am still very passionate about, the pressuring of appraisers. We provided the basic story idea to National Public Radio and they expanded on it.

Thanks to everyone for reading and paticipating in Matrix. As they said in the original movie The Matrix:

Well at this point, there is no end in sight for Matrix. There’s way too much commotion and ruckus out there to write about.
