Trying too hard

As most of you know we bought a new house (a foreclosure) through our friend and real estate agent, Jake. He did a great job for us, gave solid advice on the selling of our old home and the purchase of this one. All was good. And then I receive a letter from him this week. Now I'm not sure if all is well with Jake.

Have you ever received letters that are kind of personal and kind of not? Well Jake is obviously trying too hard. To get the full effect of this goofy letter let me quote a few lines.

"this is one of my favorite times of year, football time. Just like the Colts, our real estate team is striving to be the best!! Knowing that you are the quarterback of my team I want to make sure that I keep you well hydrated with real estate knowledge"

My friend, Jake, wants to make sure that I'm "HYDRATED WITH REAL ESTATE KNOWLEDGE" hehehehehe What happens if I get dehydrated? I hope that I don't pass out from a lack of real estate knowledge. Imagine an evening where my real estate knowledge starts to slip and I have to frantically call Jake.

"JAKE GET OVER HERE NOW! I need some information about home prices in central Indiana. (cough, cough) It's getting dark, the walls are closing in on me. Just hurry Jake."

Apparently I'm the "quarterback of his team". So what is Jake on the team? I really hope he's not the center, cause I don't want to put my hands between his cheeks to take a snap. Do I get to throw stuff as the quarterback?

Jake, Jake, Jake you're trying too hard...we love you but please stop sending me these goofy letters.

ever sarcastic,
