On Sunday, it was time to head north of Albany with two vintage friends for a little time in Saratoga Springs. We were at our hotel by noon, parked the car and took off on foot to explore Broadway and all it offers.

This first week of summer vacation has been nonstop fun and shenanigans. I'm not sure I could maintain the pace for 9 more weeks, but I've really enjoyed starting my summer in gangbuster fashion.

Fear of travel
I had a conversation recently with a woman a bit older than I. She was retiring from a job she had held for 15 or 20 years, a job she had done very well for all of those years. It hadn't paid her much, but her true calling had been motherhood and she had only … Continue reading Fear of travel
