Wow. This song is so moving. I haven't heard it for years, but last night on NPR I heard an interview of with Harvey Fierstein and listened to him recounting the making of La Cage aux Folles. It was a beautiful musical - the songs are amazing and hummable and it was just a delightful show. I

This is my first survey on my wordpress site. A while back, I read something about how having a survey on your site could be good to generate some more activity (it could help your SEO as your page may be updated often). I can't remember where I read this, but it's been on my "to do" list foreve

Earlier this week, I "helped" George Souto set up his google authorship on Google Plus. Well honestly, I'm not sure that he really needed any help, because as it turned out, he had already done it...and just forgot. So, it was pretty simple indeed. Sometimes, all we need is a bit of encourage

This is a must watch video from Bob Stewart. It really shows the importance of Google Plus and how we can leverage this to help with our search results and eventually authorship. There are still several things in here I intend to do/need to expand on. I would actually recommend relistening to t

This afternoon, I met with a nice customer about some carpet for a playroom. While I was working on the estimate and figuring out the carpet cuts, they were going through the mail and got one of those "just listed" cards. It was one of their neighbor's homes, so they said, "Oh that's what they

It's been a crazy couple of weeks and the next 2 will be crazy, too. Barely have time to sleep, let alone blog. Here are a few pictures of coolf floors that I snapped this week. The first one are some parquet floors that we refinished natural. I love the walnut border around the edges. Th

Today, I attended my first Broker Open house, thanks to my good friend Gay Rosen. It was so great to see the house and all the progress my customer had made since I was there a year ago. Night and Day. This house is in New Rochelle and has a lot to offer - 271 Beechmont Dr. Here is a pictur
