It’s a real work in progress, but if you are in the Central Virginia region, take note of the “people who do stuff” wiki I have added…. Make it the one-stop resource for those seeking HVAC, carpenters, plumbers, etc. Is this a realistic goal? Maybe not, but if you don’t aim high, where should you aim? What’s a wiki?… is a type of website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove and otherwise edit and change some available content …So … if you know of a good contractor, plumber, etc. feel free to add them to the “Other People Who Do Stuff Page.”* Please bear with me, as this is the first time I’ve done one of these, so … there will be changes and alterations as we evolve.It’s running on PhpWiki, an open source software that is conveniently provided by my host, Bluehost. (note, my site has been very slow lately, due to what I perceive to be the consequences of renting space on a shared server.)

Correct attribution?
I cannot discern to whom attribution should be credited, but this thinking is one of my primary goals of every transaction with which I am involved. Just get it done, and get it done right.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.- William James- Ronald Reagan- Harry S.
Learned something today
I have been going to Chicago once a month for the past four months. I have yet to experience that elusive goal of on-time delivery of my person from place A to place B. Having flown from Charlottesville through Washington Dulles, Charlotte and New York LaGuardia, I figured this time I would try Cincinnati. When asked this afternoon why I tried so many different connections, I responded saying, “each time I get a new story.” If I do not look at the bright side, I will focus on my missing my family …This evening I garnered a new story. The flight from Chicago to Cincinnati was delayed about an hour or so.
9-11
There are going to be lots of memories and remembrances today about 9/11/01 and justifiably so. These remembrances will be eloquent and poignant and touching.I was at my very first home inspection today five years ago, with my very first clients. We grabbed a TV from the Seller’s bedroom and watched in silence?… Confusion?Today, I am planning* to fly to Chicago through LaGuardia. Because I have to be in Chicago tonight and tomorrow. For most of us, life goes on. For that I am grateful. Never forget.*”planning to” because I am scheduled to fly out of the Charlottesville airport, an airport with which I am currently batting a .500 success rate with regards to actual departures and landings.And to my family, I say thank you for your support and love and understanding. I know you’re a bit scared, but today is as safe and/or as unsafe as any other day.
Real estate pic of the week
And maybe the month. Wow. I’ve never seen a view quite like this and if I had $1.6 million, I’d consider it. The property’s on Afton Mountain to the West of Charlottesville.

The Human CarHome for Sale, by Anxious Owner – my analysis of local incentives is coming soon. Macro market roundupKeep your friends close and your enemies closer (Microsoft and Firefox collaborate)A great idea marginalized by its affiliation with the UNIt took some time, but I finally found what may be my favorite commercial today – the one for Barclay’s i-Shares, titled “Strike Anywhere.” I’m not sure I’ll buy i-Shares, but this commercial does speak to me.
