Today is Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, a fine day indeed, I'm sure you'll agree, chocolate chip cookies are hard to resist. Years ago, when I was selling real estate, I specialized in working with families being relocated in and out of town. One day I had an appointment to list a house for a family who had been transferred many times before. When I met with the lady of the house for the first time, the house was immaculate and there was a faint aroma of something baking in the air. She was obviously a pro when it came to listing her homes. Generally, I tried to be very professional when I met with clients to gather all the necessary information, and that professionalism included not accepting anything to eat or drink. So, when the lady asked if I would like anything, I politely declined. Then she said "Are you sure? I have milk and chocolate chip cookies." Now I ask you, what person who ever enjoyed after school snacks as a child, could possibly say no to milk and cookies at three o'clock in the afternoon? Not me! Needless to say their house sold very quickly.
