Ok, maybe that isn't 100% true, but she really did get me started on my Troy education. When I first moved to Albany almost 25 years ago, I received some advice from a childhood friend regarding Troy. He said, and I quote, "Troy is the armpit of the Universe." I was uncertain exactly what that … Continue reading Everything I know about Troy, I learned from Mary Panza

Done with Mother’s Day
Screw Hallmark - as far as I'm concerned, May 5th was my ideal Mother's Day. No matter what happens next Sunday, I will cherish the day I had, from the scandalously late start to the fortified-with-an-afternoon-nap late ending - perfect! Let me be a little more specific... Saturday night, I shot a SEEN gallery down … Continue reading Done with Mother’s Day

I don't think I had any familiarity with Aimee Mann's music beyond her 'Til Tuesday stuff, but she hit me big. … Continue reading Amy, Aimee
Dash is done!
No, not my commitment to an insane schedule - the Delmar Dash 5 miler. This was my first race of the year (!) and the longest run I've had in nearly 3 weeks. And that's longest run out of 2. The weather on the quick drive over, was silly. What was sunny and blue in … Continue reading Dash is done!
International Women’s Day
Did you know my undergraduate minor was Women's History? In case my English degree didn't make me marketable, I could always fall back on that, you know? Ha! Anyway, yesterday was International Women's Day and here's my Moms@Work post in recognition of that holiday. I can't say any of the facts really surprised me, nor … Continue reading International Women’s Day
