When I was a kid in Florida, we did a lot of off-roading.  Dirt bikes, dune Buggies and the like.  Not great for the environment but great for stories of…

Like many song lyrics, this idiom has been twisted around like kids playing ‘telephone’.  Who hasn’t heard “there’s a bathroom on the right” in a Three Dog Night song or…

Ah, the argument of the ages.  Not really.  It’s pretty well accepted as a projection tool.  However, the real question is how accurate is this method?  Truthfully, there is a…

From my last posting, you should have gathered your thoughts, collected documents, established a budget and ordered or prepared to order a survey.  Boring!  I know.  Although building is actually…

    Nemo Platt

    IN MEMORIAM

    Ambassador Emeritus
    Passing in Dec. of 2017, Nemo was Habitations’ oldest associate with over 91 (dog) years at his post. Nemo began his tenure with the company as a security guard at the age of 7 (49).  As the years passed, his ambition and loyalty never went unappreciated or unnoticed. Nemo held his position as Head of Security and ultimately rose to Director of Quality Control.  A position he held until the age of 98. Nemo rejected retirement and was always seen in the office reviewing plans and protecting the staff from a stream of threats to include Fedex drivers, Postal workers or UPS drivers. One of his favorite activities was clients reception and warming their feet during consultations. The office intensely feels his absence and misses the presence of floating dog hair, dog beds and the calming aroma of kibble.  There is truly a void in our midst that cannot be filled.
