Happy New Year to all!
Welcome to my new and improved blog. I have adopted a new light and airy look for 2009 and have completed a re-design of its information layout.
I now have a section for blogging my “2bits” on historic homes and “Treading More Gently” (living “green”), and a separate section for historic homes for sale. The homes section will included our Long & Foster - Historic Home Team listings from MD, VA, PA & (soon) DC, as well as, our “Historic Partners USA” listings from around the nation (and beyond). Plese feel free to comment and share.
Best wishes for a happy & prosperous 2009.

I love YouTube.com and I have to control my myself in wanting to post hundreds of videos that are extremely interesting to me for one reason or another. Where else can you find such a diverse body of work in a format that you can take anywhere, even to your own website or blog. YouTube is accessible to one and all, so that makes no sense. I did come across a video, however, that my readers may have missed and I must post here. It is only five minutes long, but is a stunning exploration of statistics related to technology and education today and into the future. For those of us who are historic home enthusiasts, but also geeks, the video leaves us with a feeling that we can either embrace the future and succeed and prosper, or we can ignore it and become invisible and inconsequential. That is a dilema for those of us who are devoted to “living in the past”. It is clear, though, that the way we do business (including buying and selling real estate) will be much different in the future and will include a more dynamic internet experience. If we can hold our planet together and if I live long enough, I look forward to the massive changes in the way we live in the next 25 years and I will embrace them, warmly, as long as they include my Jotul wood burning stove. I have become rather attached to it.
