When I read Dick Greenberg’s Sensei/Grasshopper - An April Challenge! I knew that I did not need to ask if anyone needed my help. I knew exactly what I was going to do. I have known Alex Lopouchanski for probably 6 years now. It all started when we were working with a client, who was illegal alie...

No, I am not writing it to express my deepest disbelief in Buyer Broker Agreements. There were too many spears broken over it. I guess there is no right and wrong here. Some States require them as I heard, so the whole point there is moot… I read E.J.”Mike” Carlier’s post  Why should I sign a buy...

I rarely reblog. The post might really touch me, and this is exactly what happened here. Christiane's ode to mom is wonderfully written poem in prose.

Maybe it is a way for me to mentally measure those little moments in life… life, that was so different from my life here today, that I often think that I managed to live two lives. I am trying not t...

A true untrue story… How can a true story be untrue? You're right, it can't. It is like a fisherman telling his friends about a fish he caught 30 years ago. They smile, but they don’t buy it. But he is telling the truth, he really caught this humongous fish... Will they ever believe him?  Stories...

Like me, Vitaly, was a military instructor in high school in our small coal-mining town above the Arctic Circle in the now former Soviet Union. We worked in different schools in the same town.
