Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
For a woman who can’t seem to pick the right guy, it feels kind of ironic that I’m surrounded by males. Case in point - at the moment, I’m sharing a home with two children, two cats and a dog. All males. My middle son has, after two years on his own, temporarily moved back … Continue reading Summer bromance
