Social networking for business is interesting to one who may not always care for all aspects of social interaction. Twitter is being seen as a great customer service tool by many large firms, but I have not followed the site, mainly because I am not going out asking for connections. While the sam...

The new issue of Fine Home Building came in today's mail. Since my inspection for this afternoon was cancelled, I start to read it over. One of the first articles was describing a CHP system for a home. My first thought was that have to be kidding, but no, there is a new bread of micro-cogenerato...

Recently, I gave some thought to where I am at, and to what my actions are accomplishing. Have you ever had such moments of reflection? I was reading through several blogs, seeing how passionate the writers are about their topics, and I was feeling my passion falling, so I have not posted much. A...

The radio is reporting that there will be more freeway closures this weekend, as the web increases in size and scope. All that I see is the different shades of concrete.

There were shouts of “wow” and “look, papa, look” chiming out again and again. My daughter had discovered a final home: the sarcophagus of Pedi-Osiris.

I thought that I was meeting all of the requirements to achieve that first position, but apparently not. I...

My neighbor asks if I am out for a morning walk with my daughter. One look at her face and the tension in my arm as I am being dragged along shows her determination. This is not a morning walk; this is a mission. My one year old has discovered that I have allowed wild raspberries to take root in ...

Last week I came across a post here that was questioning why people were no longer active on AR. I wrote such a post myself, when I reached a certain goal to my surprise, and I am sure that others have too. One of the commenters expressed trepidation over blogging, so I sent her an e-mail for enc...

I have needs; you have needs. There are basic needs which we must meet in our lives. We all know the three that are frequently mentioned: shelter, food, and clothing. I found it interesting to note that food shows up in the blogging world at a much higher degree than the other two. Here in the Ra...

Sometimes you make a connection with somebody, and you may not quite be sure why. Other times you know very well why the connection was made. A helping hand for a person who is new to your community may be all that it takes. Last year, I was contacted by a Realtor who had just moved to Houston. S...
