Okay, so maybe it wasn't really a "weekend," merely a Wednesday afternoon until Thursday evening, but nonetheless we crammed enough fun stuff and food into that window of time that it felt like a weekend. If there was a theme to our brief jaunt to Manhattan it would be something which involved estrogen, wine, shopping, Mario Batali … Continue reading Ladies’ Weekend

Historic Albany Foundation Built Event
This is probably Lori Hansen's work. Let's hope she doesn't mind that I borrowed it. Saturday night I spent a little time pouring wine and beer at a terrific event at the NYS Museum. Now, you know I've been spending my Saturday nights (until recently) working, so this going-out-Saturday-thing is still pretty novel to … Continue reading Historic Albany Foundation Built Event
On being not cool…
3rd Row Friday morning I got a Facebook message from a fellow Laker-girl making a couple of tickets to the DMB show available to me. Day of the show miracle, I call that. I was so excited to get home and surprise Griffin with the unexpected news. History: after relying upon someone else to get … Continue reading On being not cool…

Don't get me wrong - there are some crappy moments, filled … Continue reading Graceful Zombie Walk
Coffee time
I don't know about you, but I haven't been sleeping that well recently, which makes my morning cup of Joe that much more necessary. For the rest of you coffee dependent folks out there, just a reminder that my favorite coffee place, Porto Rico Importers in NYC is having one of their two big annual … Continue reading Coffee time
A-Mazed at the Metropolitan
My oldest son watches way too much television. The only redemption from all this television viewing, in my opinion, is that he has learned some useful and cool information. From watching crime shows like CSI and NCIS, he learned the fact that there are bomb smelling dogs and drug smelling dogs and that the Labradors … Continue reading A-Mazed at the Metropolitan
