Take 1 – Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are fearless. The collective gasp when they ran their Bill Cosby bit was definitely an indication that they caused some discomfort in the audience. Unlike the rest of Hollywood, Tina and Amy weren't letting Cosby get away with anything. Take 2 – Nothing worked harder during last … Continue reading The Golden Globes in 3 Takes

Hot yoga, even when it’s not hot
Saturday I took advantage of the kind of deal that makes a cold January morning hot - a free 45 minute class taught by Andrea of The Hot Yoga Spot studio(s) and hosted at the new Athleta store at Crossgates Mall.

While it may be early in the new year, I think we have a real contender for most ridiculous statement of 2015. Did you see the article in Saturday's NYT about the day spas for children which are popping up around the country? Well, I'm not even going to address that topic because folks are … Continue reading “No” doesn’t mean I don’t love you (at least not in my house)
