I’m sure you’ve heard the saga of the Albany Bear. A young black bear, with a history of repeatedly wandering into populated areas, was a deemed a “nuisance” and euthanized yesterday.

Every boy an island
Yep, there were three boys and yes, we did visit three islands. Mission accomplished. Here are some highlights. We actually got on the road precisely on time. This is such a rare occurrence that I could not let it pass without acknowledgement. The drive was uneventful and we encountered no traffic until we got to … Continue reading Every boy an island

My initial thought had been to grab Jeter and head down to … Continue reading Hello, Wall!

I haven't regretted my choice at all. Well, almost not at all. I was only taking one class a week at … Continue reading Weighing in

I've got a thing for purple … Continue reading Looking for patterns
