In the past few months, I've been to some really great shows up at SPAC. Despite the cold start to the season, Memorial Day weekend, when Griffin and I went to see both nights of the Dave Matthews Band, and the ridiculous prices demanded by Live Nation for shows and refreshments, I gotta say, it … Continue reading Rocking out the summer – part 1

The Warrior Dash as a life metaphor – updated*
Yesterday, I mastered my third consecutive Warrior Dash down in Windham. How was it, you ask? Well...it was really hard - maybe the hardest one yet, for me. A beautiful foggy early morning had turned into a sunny and bright late morning and the temperature had somehow crept up into the 80s. When I jumped … Continue reading The Warrior Dash as a life metaphor – updated*
The sky was dry but it rained the blues
I did it. After 25 years of living in Albany, I finally made it up to SPAC to take in some of the Freihofer's Jazz Fest this weekend. Wow!

Yep, I'm an old school … Continue reading Don’t do me like that

Catching up with Moms@Work
Griffin and I went to a concert. I anticipated summer and clarified my economic reality with a comment. And discussed the economic reality of American women, in general. An imagined dream come true. There's an upcoming event you should think about attending. I had a really, really bad day. Dads had their day. And Sally … Continue reading Catching up with Moms@Work
