This is probably Lori Hansen's work. Let's hope she doesn't mind that I borrowed it. Saturday night I spent a little time pouring wine and beer at a terrific event at the NYS Museum. Now, you know I've been spending my Saturday nights (until recently) working, so this going-out-Saturday-thing is still pretty novel to … Continue reading Historic Albany Foundation Built Event

On being not cool…
3rd Row Friday morning I got a Facebook message from a fellow Laker-girl making a couple of tickets to the DMB show available to me. Day of the show miracle, I call that. I was so excited to get home and surprise Griffin with the unexpected news. History: after relying upon someone else to get … Continue reading On being not cool…

Don't get me wrong - there are some crappy moments, filled … Continue reading Graceful Zombie Walk
Looking Ahead
I guess I could be curled up in a little ball right now, practicing deep breathing as I attempt to clarify what I'm feeling and thinking, but, it really isn't my style. While challenging situations aren't something I purposefully seek out, I have to believe they happen for a reason, and I find that often, … Continue reading Looking Ahead

In addition to the myriad of ethnic options previously absent from the Capital Region, there are numerous creative American cuisine restaurants, which together provide lots … Continue reading Restaurant Smallbany
