I don't know when Halloween became a holiday for adults, or more specifically for women to wear to trampy costumes, but I finally found an event that combined Zombies, running and charity - the rUNDEAD 5k in Saratoga State Park. This inaugural trail run race was held last Sunday morning, with proceeds benefiting the Special … Continue reading Happy Halloween!

Mezze
I finally got to Mezze, an awesome restaurant just south of Williamstown, MA., after years of hearing about it. I'd heard praise for this place for so long, I can't even remember who* originally recommended it. Believe me, though, I would send that forgotten initial fan of the place a "thank you" note if I … Continue reading Mezze

Within hours, an indication of how psychically in tune we are, I got a text from her requesting a get together. We decided on a date and a destination and I immediately began … Continue reading Woodstock!
It is what it is and other recent words

I love the way the perfect word can illustrate a point with vividness and accuracy. Words can be satisfying, they … Continue reading It is what it is and other recent words
Living La Vida Local
A typical autumn Saturday... A cold morning moderated by sunshine and running around a field. Then it was off to All Good Bakers... ...for a couple of tasty baguettes to accompany the fantastic cheese I selected from my new neighbor, The Cheese Traveler. I went with a raw cow's milk washed rind (washed with beer!) … Continue reading Living La Vida Local
