Would some of you please relax? I promise you, I pretend to no more knowledge than anyone else, I look at what’s recently sold, make a judgement on new listings and post it. The only difference between me and your … Continue reading →

Charlie Rangel finally brought up on charges. It won’t affect his re-election chances of course – his people love him – but it may prove a tad embarrassing for his fellow Demmerkrats. He is, after all. the Chairman of the … Continue reading →

Women most beautiful at 31? It’s all relative, obviously. At 18, I wasn’t exactly drooling over women in their 40s (Sophia Loren being the single exception). I’ll be 57 in two weeks, and I can tell you, 46 can look … Continue reading →

Look, guy, I can’t, and won’t post your accusations about corruption in the Building Department without some proof. It’s too easy for someone to send an anonymous email about criminal acts – if you have proof, send the documents – … Continue reading →

Well okay, probably not, but I did go out. Two nice houses but I so disagree with their aggressive pricing that I’ve decided to engage in restraint of tongue and pen. You may have noticed, I try hard to avoid … Continue reading →

I was at the Riverside Shopping Center Starbucks today (they make a terrific iced tea/ lemonade, by the way) and noticed a sign in the window of the bakery next door advertising “The Knot best wedding cakes”. Heck, if I … Continue reading →

I hear that the Greenwich building inspector was fired Monday after local developers complained that he was being a pain in the ass. I didn’t know the man and thus have no particular opinion on the matter but as a … Continue reading →

Greenwich Hospital employee arrested for peddling drugs in the parking lot was selling them to fellow employees. I couldn’t care less if a broom-pusher is high on mushrooms as he cleans the floor – if it makes his day go … Continue reading →

You finally committed the cardinal sin on this blog and bored me one too many times, so  I’ve consigned your ip address to the spam file. But if you do have your own blog, as you hint you do, or start one, … Continue reading →

White House apologizes to fired official, offers her new job.I missed this story – it’s been a busy week – but a conservative columnist posted a snippet of a TV interview of an adminstration executive that seemed to suggest she … Continue reading →

Surely there must be someone at Round Hill Club who will defend him! “Boundless avarice” does seem to sum up Walter and his greedy, grasping kin quite nicely.

More swans disappear from Taconic Road home. When the first set disappeared, I figured, “coyotes”. Round two, I’m betting on a PETA lunatic.

Frankie Fudrucker pulled off two coups today, one a straight-forward sale, another a short sale that took 13 months (!) to accomplish. The easy one was 33 (?) John Street – Brad Hvolbeck listing, Westchester builder: go for the deal … Continue reading →

But there’s no other real estate news to report on, so this price reduction caught my eye. Forget the house – it’s a wreck. So you’ve got 3.5 acres in a 2 acre zone and, according to its original 2007 … Continue reading →

Well no, Jimbo’s plan isn’t quite as ambitious as that. It’s just a worked-over warm pile of poo that he and his fellow Demmerkrats (and Republicans too, no doubt) have cooked up so as to look like they have ” … Continue reading →

Strolled into the house this morning and found my mother in a tizzy trying to send funds via Western Union to a friend of hers who had been robbed in Scotland and needed immediate cash. My mother is quite sharp, … Continue reading →

Madoff Trustee sues Walter Noel and his henchmen. (Thanks to several readers who sent this along – I’ve been out of touch this morning). Irving Picard, the court-appointed trustee, is seeking more than $3.6 billion in damages and to undo … Continue reading →

Old Coot mentioned her father dismissing peckerheads and, as there is no one I admired more than my own, I answered her. Old Coot, my dad, also long passed, made me most proud when he showed up, sometime in the … Continue reading →
