Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
This week, as I always try to do prior to flying, I had dinner with all three of my sons. This most recent gathering was at a couple of favorite neighborhood spots.

Last week, the Women’s Wednesday Watch & Wine Society met for the second time, this time for a sci-fi flick, The Assessment.
