1968 revisited? - 04/26/08 11:46 PM
 I went to a meet-up group today at one of our two remaining independent bookstores. There is a group that meets there every Saturday afternoon to knit and/or crochet. In the course of the conversation one of the other group members who is the same age as I am made a comment about how the last time she had been really interested in simple living, and doing things like knitting and spinning her own yarn (which how the conversation got started--someone is taking a spinning and weaving class) was "back in the 60's when we were hippies"...
Well, she and I were … (0 comments)

Why I like Relocation Buyers - 04/23/08 08:54 PM
  I've decided I love working with relocation buyers. Usually, they are looking because they really need to buy now.

EnergyStar rated Homes - 04/22/08 02:28 PM

My blog is as much about a philosophy of life and living as it is about real estate as a business. E.F. Shumacher subtitled his book SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL "Economics as if People Mattered" In the real estate industry we realize that people matter and that where they live matters. We now also have a larger responsiblity, I believe, to get them to consider HOW they live. Everyone in the developed world using less energy and resources makes it possible for those who have access to neither to experience a better life and to make the difference between their being able to having a roof overhead or not or for their children to eat or not.
