Boston condo brokers conversation on a cold day

It was a cold, windy, sunny day. The wind howled, making all plans seem irrelevant. He looked at his wife, seated across the work table in their one and half bedroom Beacon Hill apartment, she was in the library/study/workroom, and wondered what they should do.

They’d started the day as usual for Beacon Hill rental agents, checking email and sorting through work at hand, but today was supposed to be a “special” day, not for work, but for celebrating.

He got up from the table and walked to the window to watch as the weather increased its ferocity. No, he thought, not a day for going out.

Not a pleasant day to celebrate her birthday.

As a Beacon Hill condo broker, I have been told by my girlfriend many times, “Listen up I have something to tell you …” Today was one of those days.

She said, “The year is coming to an end, have you thought about some New Year’s resolutions?” I responded resoundingly, “No.” She said “I have some resolutions.”

She took out a piece of paper, as she began reading the third entry from her list of resolutions that the grim reality struck: They were resolutions for me.

At first I was thinking about going to my real estate office in Beacon Hill, but once I heard the weather forecast, that thought died, faster than the Patriots playoff season.

My girlfriend who I love (most of the time). She has this theory that if I lose weight I would in return be a better Boston condo seller and a Beacon Hill apartment renter.

So lets jump into our last conversation about, of all things – my diet.

Mona: John have you ever thought about snacking on tinned fish like anchovies and sardines lately (or ever?)

Me: No.

Mona: Did you know they’re one of the healthiest snacks around? You’re missing out on an affordable nutritional powerhouse.

Me: That’s nice.

Mona: Tin fish are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, protein, calcium and vitamin A.

Me: Can you pass me the potato chips.
