The postman just delivered four phone books to my, and everyone else's house in Greenwich. Mine went into the mixed paper bin. When was the last time you used a paper phonebook?

Better yet, when was the last time you used 4!
Ditto ... straight into recyling. A complete waste.
Why is it okay for the publisher of these books to litter our driveways? Especially since they seem to arrive in August, when lots of people are out of town, and on a day when it pours. What could be better than a soggy heap of phone books in front of a home to tell all the world that no one is around?
Worse still, who do you call to suspend or cancel these things? If you want a newspaper delivery suspended during your vacation, it's a pretty simple matter to reach the subscription department. These things are delivered anonymously and, as you say, alert every ne'er do well that you're out of town.
I am, after twenty years, a non-practicing lawyer and glad of it. I am the author of The New Millionaire's Handbook (Andrews/Mcmeal 2000, Greenwich Mean Time (2006) and several equally funny (he said) unpublished novels and screenplays. For the past six years or so I've been selling real estate in Greenwich, Ct and, while that wasn't exactly the career I envisioned when I was a starry-eyed law school graduate, it seems to pay the bills far better than lawyering ever did, with no stress. Good deal.
Mostly, you'll find information about Greenwich real estate in this blog but I do have other interests and, because I think what our politicians do can severely affect the economy and real estate values, I often jump the shark. If you don't want to see that ugly sight, please skip to a real estate entry.
Clicking on a picture often makes it larger but it depends on how large that picture started in its initial posting. Anything highlighted should be, and usually is, a link related to the article I'm talking about. Click it and see - it's sort of like an Easter egg hunt. My blogging skills are very much a work in progress.

What's even worse is the "off-brand" phone books put out by independent publishers.
