I’m Dreaming of These Holiday Mergers
The recent spate of mergers caused me to wonder why we--the

Saying goodbye means new opportunities.
As 2008 comes to a close, I end my three-year term on the U.S. Green Building Council’s Board of Directors. My final meeting in Boston during Greenbuild was bittersweet. Though I was saying goodbye, I shared with other board members some of my plans for the future.

Toothless Smiles
The construction market stinks. The stock market brings

Adventures in Construction: Eat or Be Eaten
I love nature shows, especially those that
demonstrate ferocity in the animal kingdom. Last night I caught a segment where
an imposing monitor lizard went looking for lunch in a badger’s den, only to
end up becoming lunch for the badger.

Adventures in Construction: California Dreaming … or Nightmare?
When I took my first trip to California in 1982, the state’s sunny skies,
palm trees and ocean views entranced me. With the Mamas and the Papas’
“California Dreaming” playing in my head, I understood why people were moving
there in droves.

Who wouldn’t love to discover hidden treasure?
