After much experimentation with my constantly changing skin (Is it dry? Sensitive? Aging? All of the above?), I've gathered together a collection of facial cleansers that feel like they're working out ok for me. It's a mix of creams and lotions,* many of which come from Origins, but there's some Philosophy and Bliss thrown in, … Continue reading Face wash (is not a) game

Cookies – shipped, snatched and swapped
If I had to pick my favorite type of baked good, I’d go with cookies. I mean, the varieties in flavor, texture and size mean it would almost be possible to have a different kind of cookie every single day! That being said, black & whites, chocolate chip (with walnuts, please) and molasses cookies will … Continue reading Cookies – shipped, snatched and swapped
Superman never made any money

After receiving a couple of really nice compliments recently, I feel I need to lay a couple of things out because I wouldn't want anyone to … Continue reading Superman never made any money

I never think of myself as really goal oriented or competitive, but there’s something about running that inspires … Continue reading She runs through the streets
Remember the children
Four years ago, as I sat in the humid warmth of an indoor water park while my children played, 20 children were murdered within the confines of their elementary school. As I read the story online, a bone chilling horror entered my body and lodged in my head. I considered that it could have been … Continue reading Remember the children
Albany – it’s the most wonderful time of the year
As I close in on 30 years as a resident, I still find myself charmed by Albany. Don’t get me wrong, there are things that make me insane (folks who double park when there is an available space, I’m talking to you!), but I continue to fall in love with my adopted city. Yeah, that’s … Continue reading Albany – it’s the most wonderful time of the year
