What a day I had on St. Patrick's Day! I mean how can a colleen complain about a day that included a flat 4 mile run, a creamy pint of Guinness and a vivid voice from the past reminding me who I am? My day started with The Running of the Green (Island). I remember … Continue reading The luck of the Irish

Blessed
image from wikipediaI'm calling this in. From paradise aka Palm Springs, CA. There may be more typos than usual. I may be almost sipping my second margarita. I am, without a doubt, Blessed...1.

Turkey Pot Pie, sort of

It is a really cool blog, called Vinoteca, and is about wine (yum) and adventures (sign me up!) and other things which make … Continue reading I’m all over the internets!
The Van Dyck
Last night, I met a couple of friends in Schenectady at The Van Dyck for beers and a bite to eat. I've been to the Van Dyck, in its various incarnations, a couple of times over the years and have always thought of it as a cool space not living up to its potential. After … Continue reading The Van Dyck
