Just let the Old Greenwich Memorial Day parade get along without me for the second year in a row. I used to attend because it’s one of the few vestiges of  town life as I remember it growing up and … Continue reading →

Just pop (and jazz, if tat’s your thing). We’ll leave out classical in the interest of putting some boundary to this. Here’s a bakers dozen, again in no particular chronological order or genre: Mary Chapin Carpenter         … Continue reading →

Obama spent billions on “green” energy companies run by his campaign donors but – surprise! – the jobs he promised failed to appear. President Obama has made much of his commitment to green energy as he launches his re-election bid, … Continue reading →

Organic foods arrive via PTA to Parkway school. Nothing wrong with that – I myself try to stay away from, say, toxic fish from China, but to claim this is some sort of learning experience (food has to be grown! Wow!) … Continue reading →

Just in time for Memorial Day comes this reminder that rear-echelon mother f***ers (REMFs, if I have that terminology down) are still with us, as they will always be. If you’re ordering young men into combat and you learn that … Continue reading →

Greenwich Teamsters have prevented the town from cutting down dangerous trees for the  past year because of a contract dispute: seems that private contractors wanted to work on weekends, at no extra cost to the town, and the teamsters felt … Continue reading →

Another dead week in Greenwich real estate – we’ve done favorite films and books so what’s next – Boy Bands? Anyway, here’s a sale of some interest, 603 Steamboat Road. I don’t usually track condominium sales but this one sold … Continue reading →

49 Pecksland Road cuts its price again and it’s now asking $1.995 million, down from the $3.850 it first sought in February 2008, after the crash but before its owner had put down his bong. It’s got a “challenging” yard … Continue reading →

Merkel now “considering” accepting Eurobonds. This will free the rest of Europe to stop paying lip service to austerity plans (plans which have yet to be enacted) and resume their mad spending at German taxpayers’ expense. It was only a … Continue reading →

That’s what a New Jersey lawyer is claiming in a suit against a woman who texted her boyfriend while driving. Boyfriend got distracted and crashed his car into another car. The theory is that texting while driving is illegal in … Continue reading →

He won’t return money paid him by Bain Capital. What a difference two days make.

Philadelphia: Paedophile defrocked priest now works as a TSA airport screener. Billions of dollars a year spent on homeland security – feel safer now?

I think I mentioned last week that 240 Overlook had an accepted offer but today it’s reported as having progressed to a full contract. This is a beautiful house but it’s built into a steep hill so there’s a pretty … Continue reading →
