Cool Tool Available to Martha’s Vineyard NStar Customers


I just received a gadget that is being offered through an NStar utility partner, Blueline Innovations. It’s a wireless device that is not difficult to install or set up. Besides the ability to intelligently monitor power usage in your home, I think it can be a fun learning tool for children and the whole family to educate them about energy conservation. The Power Cost Monitor is available right now for $29.95 with a promotion code for NStar customers, BUT the price is expected to go up to $135.00US after June 30, 2007. Follow this link to learn more about the PowerCost Monitor™.

I Love Martha's Vineyard

I have lived on Martha’s Vineyard part time and full time for over 40 years, and I have seen a lot of changes --- some good and some bad. For the most part the Vineyard has still maintained its New England charm and tenor.

When I was a little boy my family summered in the Hampton's on Long Island. It was a magical part of my boyhood, but when I went back a number of years ago everything had changed.

I love these two lines from an article that appeared in The Record this past Sunday:

“Overrun? Maybe. Devine? Definitely!”

And then there was this quote:

"Southampton, eat your heart out!"

Buying A Home On Martha’s Vineyard Should Be Fun

House hunting on Martha’s Vineyard can be fun, and I make sure it is fun. However, I find many buyers new to the market get caught up in things that are irrelevant while failing to consider what’s really important. They may base their decision on a Japanese Maple tree in the front yard, the green granite counter tops in the kitchen, or the color of the carpeting in the living room. I believe it is my responsibility as an exclusive buyer representative to keep my buyer-clients focused on the big picture, even though some of that may be more sobering than joyful.
