For Crovello Victims

John Crovello will appear before Judge John J. Toomey on December 4, 2006. He has been charged with Grand Larceny. I have uploaded a letter that victims of Crovello can download and mail (via certified mail) to the judge and the District Attorney's office. The letter asks the judge to kindly make monies stolen from victims part of the restitution imposed in Crovello's sentence.

If you are a victim, download the letter here.

If you do download the letter and choose to send it, please drop me a note in comments (if you like) to let me know.

You should not construe this as legal advice. I am not an attorney. But I do hope this is helpful. My take is that you won't benefit from this if you haven't logged your complaints with the District Attorney's Office in Suffolk County. Your mileage may vary.

Wading River House For Sale

As if we didn't have enough real estate-related commotion in our lives...

This is the house I grew up in. Now totally renovated, we're putting it up for a while on ForSaleByOwner.com to see if we can get a deal done without having to pay commissions. Here's the listing.

This place has a lot of history with our family, but it's really time to let it go. It's really important that we sell within a reasonable length of time, so any little bit of promotion or publicity can help. I know other bloggers and media professionals sometimes stop by here. I'd appreciate your inbound links or, if you're a media seller and you have some remnant inventory you're not doing anything with... (I know, it's a stretch.)

The thing I will miss most about this place, other than the family memories, is how it served as the center of our social hub for so long. People love to come here, especially in the summer. And it's fun to entertain, whether it's family coming for Christmas dinner or just a random summer pool party. (Some of you out there may have been among the 500 or so of my closest friends invited to SposBash and you've experienced this first hand.)

I'll be sad to see it go, but it's really time to move on.
