A Rose for Re/Max Town and Country 2008-07-08 02:01:11 I just sat through the two-hour finale of ABC’s reality-tv show, “The Bachelorette”. I don’t know how I got sucked into watching that series in the first place, but I did and I had to see how it ended.

How Green Is Your Blog? Green Marketing and the Internet 2008-05-18 14:00:07 It all started with an email from DreamHost. That domain name I got along with a years’ subscription to their hosting plan was about to expire, and I had to decide if I wanted to keep it.

Then I look for a sign pointing out the aisle where soap might be and make a beeline for it. You won’t see me browsing; I don’t have time and I don’t like [...] Read more:Categories
