If you love animals as I do, it is heartbreaking to visit shelters. So many sad, sick and discarded animals who are scared, confused and often almost out of time. These good souls wait. Most look up as people walk through, some have lost hope and just curl up in a corner and wait too, but to die.

I had a wonderful buyer who I sold an affordable housing condo unit several years ago. This particular unit was different. Because there had been an expansive fire in the building six months before, it was re-built and brand new with better quality than the original. My client was wise and didn't

Here he is, a guy I call Lawrence for no particular reason at all. He is a constant visitor and a good guest. Sometime he has a bunch of friends with him and other times, like yesterday he is here alone. Lawrence is calm, docile, beautiful and not from Arabia.

I had all four of my pups at the Vet's yesterday. They were good but it was costly. On the way home a light appeared on my dash. I thought that maybe a paw touched something and triggered the light. I stopped on my way home to find out what it was, and it is the "check engine" light. My car was s

It has been almost ten years since I freaked the last time the stock market went south. I finally sold after losing about a third of my capital and watched for the next year while it slowly came back. This time I am biding my time and hoping there is another rebound. My horizon is shorter but my
