In a neighborhood where one can find a few pink flamingos, this fabulous bird got my attention! It looks like something you'd find in one of the shops that Jeff Dowler writes about in his Localism posts! Alas, my camera was not handy, but of course, my I-Phone was right in my hip pocket, so I...

Let me start by saying that, in spite of what some consumer advocates say about title insurance being sort of a rip off, I've always purchased the stuff. I figure that it's like the life vest below the seat on an airline flight. I'll probably never need it, but if I do, I'll really need it. T...

This morning, I had a wonderful visit with an old roommate from my New York days. She is visiting from her home in Portugal and we had a great time catching up on each others lives. Of course, I had to give her a copy of The Irreverent Guide to Real Estate. - autographed, of course! She left ar...

Over the weekend, I checked out some neighborhoods across the Potomac River in Fort Washington, Maryland. And we stopped by the local marina to check out the birds and the boats. These fellows looked like they might be taking advantage of a little rest stop. I had to wonder if they were going...

Friday afternoon, I had a settlement that could have gone very, very wrong. But it didn't. It was an "as is" sale of a totally renovated house which, after a lot of negotiating, sold at the right price. Then there was the home inspection. Jay Markanich came up to do it. And oh were there issu...

On June 10, 2007, I wrote my first post on Active Rain, which turned out to be the start of a very interesting journey. A few minutes ago, I looked at my Active Rain points total - that tribute to the extent of my addiction to blogging here. And I realized that I could write a post right now an...

As November nears the halfway point, we are still seeing some spectacular colors, although most of the leaves are now off the trees and on the ground. I'm very lucky to be able to use the back roads in Rock Creek Park to get around the city, and every so often, I just have to pull over and get ...
