Yesterday turned out to be the perfect day to pick up my “new”car - a day designated to demonstrate honor and respect for women. What do my new car and this day of recognition have in common? Let me tell you. I’ve done some things recently that have prompted people to remark that I’m some … Continue reading International Women’s Day wheels

Hi. Thanks for visiting my site! What do you want to know?
Poestenkill’s Pine Ridge
It’s understandable that many people are, as they say, “done with winter.” That cold snap we had over the holidays was fierce and the recent Nor’easters have resulted in power outages and property damage from fallen trees and limbs. I get it, but I’m not feeling the same way. I really have come to love … Continue reading Poestenkill’s Pine Ridge
Breaking up with the Swede
Almost 20 years ago I bought my first Volvo. It was a dark green sedan and I remember being impressed by the turning radius and a bit alarmed by the sensation prompted by the heated seats.

What else is there?
Getting lost on your way to a restaurant that’s a Yelp two minute walk away but ending up in a place with a gnocchi Amatriciana special only available on Thursday and...it’s Thursday!

Literally stamp your feet on … Continue reading What else is there?
Thoughts inspired by dinner at Enzo29
Americans are always the loudest. They want everyone to hear them but they don’t know how to listen. I want to softly tell the table of 6-Got-SUNY-semester-abroad written all over them, (unfortunately not in invisible ink), that I adore their enthusiasm and excitement but couldn’t they enjoy themselves just as much if they spoke in … Continue reading Thoughts inspired by dinner at Enzo29
