Things are amping up here in Albany as the September mayoral primary approaches. Of course, the winner of the primary in our fair city is the de facto winner of the election. That's just how things work in our overwhelmingly democratic capital city. I've noticed while driving and running around town that there are a … Continue reading Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs

Guardians of the Galaxy, v2
It had been a pretty terrific Monday. I got to the bank, took care of payroll for the second to last time and had a reasonably productive day at work. Dinner was takeout, restaurant kitchen linens were in the washer (for the last time) and Quinn and I made it to the Spectrum in time … Continue reading Guardians of the Galaxy, v2

I mean, on my day "off?" As the cupcakes cool and the laundry spins, I read … Continue reading A Sunday kind of love

You, as a reader, have come to know me on some level from my words. What makes you return here (assuming … Continue reading Who are you?
Observations and the science fair
I'm a little ashamed for thinking, much less saying, this but ... I really kind of detest the science fair. It isn't because science isn't really my thing, or that I'm opposed to exploring a topic of interest, it's just that it turns into so much work without much reward. It's hard to be excited … Continue reading Observations and the science fair
