I'm currently adding content to several blogs, all hosted on a site called HubPages. You may subscribe to my feed below, and you may also visit any of the articles I've published from this page. Here is a list of articles, arranged by the following topics:

I recently moved, and when I did I took over 200 dearly loved perennial plants with me, all of which I dug up, divided and potted. I'm writing about that at times overwhelming experience, as well as about gardening in general, since it is one of the enduring passions of my life.

When I sold my house in order to buy a larger house to share with my fiancé, I moved into a wonderful suburb of Philadelphia, PA that was developed almost entirely before 1965. The most venerable houses date back to the mid-1700s, but most were built in the middle of the 20th century, and the house we bought-built in 1952-is typical of the area: It's solid stone and brick, with gleaming hardwood floors, highly detailed millwork and three and a half wonderful baths that are still, amazingly, 80% original. Restoring those beautiful, full-tile baths to their former glory, ripping out way too much nasty 1970s wallpaper and wall-to-wall carpeting, and painting, fixing, improving every detail of my house is my new obsession. And I'll be documenting all of it, in words, photos and video, in my DIY blog.

I am fascinated by the rich visual vocabulary of film and have long been a student of the surviving movies from the silent era as well as early talkies, pre-code gems, film noir and quirky comedies. My movie blogs are a way for me to share my interest in cinematography and the language of imagery, so sit back, munch your popcorn and enjoy!

Real Estate

In 2011, in the midst of the worst housing market we've seen since The Great Depression, I not only sold my house myself, I got my asking price--which ended up being a full $60,000.00 over what two Realtors had tolsd me my home was worth. I am writing a series of articles that will explain, step by step, exactly how I did it.
