I can't imagine a better Friday in Albany than the one I had last week. It began with yoga @5:45 (yes, that is a.m.), lasted approximately 20 hours, and, start to finish, it was awesome.

We've been going to the same farm for about 5 years or so and couldn't be happier with the tree selection or the $20 price. I prefer to … Continue reading Christmas Tree Hunting
