If you love a scrumptious soft shell sandwich, ride down to Courtney's Restaurant on a weekday for lunch. "Chef" Julie serves this on a fresh baked sandwich roll with your fixings.

The marketing mind never stops. I saw this sign while walking in Leonardtown. It tell me it's not a neighborhood where people make large incomes. Its for a blue collar or someone trying to get ahead. The good news is the landlord takes care of the property. I will post later the exact location. Feel free to tell us where you 🤔 this is

GOOGLE MAPS RELEVANCE TO BUSINESS:
Some small business owners think the businesses at the top of Google's map paid to be there. They didn't.
Those three spots in the local pack? They're earned, not bought. Google ranks them on relevance, distance, and prominence—not on who cut the biggest check. The sponsored results are labeled "Ad." Everything below that is organic, and any business can compete for it.
That's the part owners miss: you don't need a bigger budget to climb the map. You need the right signals. And nearly every nearby customer picks from those top three—so it's worth knowing what actually moves you up.

Thank you to Mary Lou Troutman's artistry- the colorful crab mat is beautiful! If you like finding small antiques unique gifts or St Mary's County apparel, take an hour and I bet you find something to buy.

𝗛𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂??
I read something an Artificial Intelligence model (AI) gave me and thought… that doesn't seem right? 🤔 I said no and prove me wrong or make an adjustment. And sure enough — the AI was wrong. It even said it and then tried to redirect me.

It's a good reminder that these tools are helpful, but they're not always accurate. Understanding where they fall short is just as important as knowing how to use them.

Passing of the torch moment. Ernie Bell's law office has officially changed to Nick Stellway's Hyatt commercial real estate office right across from the civil court house.

Yesterday, while working with a few people from an older generation, a thought crossed my mind — Technology has moved so fast these past few years, let alone these past few months — especially with Artificial Intelligence (AI). It's simply hard to keep up. Kind of like that iconic '80s commercial… "I've fallen and I can't get up!" 😄 Some days, that's exactly how it feels!

I've hired younger team members locally and virtual assistants (VAs) to help. What I found is that it's incredibly difficult to convey exactly what you want. What they hear and what they produce often end up being two completely different things.

I'm proud of myself for pushing through my own tech hurdles and developing clear procedures to keep us all on the same page — same vision, same outcomes.

Like anything else, it's not as easy as it looks — but the payoff sure is worth it.

(P.S. — Yes, I made this image using AI. And no, I did not fall trying to figure it out… this time. 😂)
