Is it a blog? Or not? What's your Mac "killer app"? I am waiting on the 2nd Gen Macbooks - each time I buy a new iPod, a better one seems to come out less than a month later ... Just a start in the…
Baby Steps
What does a good Realtor do for his or her clients? Yesterday I was walking my two and a half year old down the stairs. For the first set, she went alone, step by step by step. (there are seven, we counted) She went slowly…
