What a full day. From early until now. What a beautiful city and how varied. I will include some pictures without a lot of explanation. There is so much history here and yet this city is diverse and absolutely gorgeous. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised but I was. Enjoy the views...... Rear of Sch

I have been traveling all week and now I am in a new place. Earlier this evening I attended a Mozart and Strauss program with a small orchestra, two opera singers and a couple of dancers. It was great. The below is not at the concert venue but a picture I took at sundown, just strolling around. D

There is so much to do in the Berkshires and the surrounding areas. On Saturday night I joined a friend and went to the final concert of The Leaf Peeper Concert Series in Chatham, NY, run by the Clarion Concerts in Columbia County. This all Beethoven string trios event featured a retiring directo

In almost thirty years of real estate practice there have been times when something needed to be done, no one else could or would do it, and so I did what was needed. I wouldn't characterize those things as unusual, and certainly not above and beyond. The job is the job, and it changes all the ti
