I took this one on Friday in Rock Creek Park with my iPhone 7Plus.  And by now, these leaves are carpeting the ground.  We've had 60 mile per hour winds for most of the day, and I'm guessing that on my way into the office tomorrow, the trees in the park are going to be pretty bare!  Next photo op...

About four years ago, I reached a point where my knees were so bad that I thought I might have to give up on real estate.  Between a left knee that threw itself out of joint on a whim (ouch!) and a right knee that had been damaged by decades of walking in a way that usually kept the left knee dub...

It was hard not to stop on my way home today.  The sun was dancing on the water in Rock Creek, and I had my new iPhone 7 Plus (with its very cool camera) sitting next to me in the front passenger seat.  And this was the result.  I can see this is going to be a fun one to play with!

My home is in a neighborhood that is surrounded on three sides by a national park, and this time of the year, it looks like it's on fire.  The park is set along Rock Creek, which runs from Georgetown to Gaithersburg, Maryland.  There are riding trails for bicycles and horses, tennis courts and lo...

Yesterday, my new iPhone 7 arrived, and I am in Wow Mode!First, they were out and back ordered, and they promised delivery on or before December 5th.  It arrived on November 16th - the first under-promise-over-deliver element of the transaction.  When I got it out of the box, I was a little cluel...

Last week, I lost a friend and former colleague.  And if he hadn't shown up on the planet, I would have died thirty years ago.  You might have, too.You've probably never heard of him, but he lived an amazing life that made a huge difference to a lot of people - not just me.  His name is Clarence ...

In today's Q&A section, Michael Thacke  asked:  "When was the last time a client (buyer or seller) rode with you in your car?  And I was pretty amazed at the answers."And as of about 2:00 this afternoon (eastern time) only 11 out of the 33 people who answered indicated they actually had buyers in...
