I woke up Thanksgiving morning and started my usual routine - bathroom to pee, brush my teeth and clean my nightguard. I brush and then soak the night guard in some fizzy solution last year’s 8th-grade homeroom advised me on. To dissolve the tablet you toss it in very warm, but not hot water. Since … Continue reading Lit

Grooving with The Suffers
I don’t know what you did Wednesday night, but I doubt you more fun than I did. It was one of those wonderful Albany nights that come along, with unpredictable frequency, when everything flowed. It was just a great night. A big part of the enjoyable evening was a concert at The Egg. A band … Continue reading Grooving with The Suffers

Ultimately my biggest lesson was that I refused to remain committed … Continue reading Choosing what’s best – Election Day and every day

It was black, as was his clothing and his skin. It had rained earlier and was now … Continue reading On the road
Soccer and traces of snow at the start of 7.1
The weekend has been the quintessential October weekend in New York’s Hudson Valley, by my definition. There were chores and errands, sports, a couple of movies, and a home cooked meal or two that featured intensely seasonal food like squash and pumpkin. It felt restorative. The sports were a balance between being a spectator and … Continue reading Soccer and traces of snow at the start of 7.1
