Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
When you wake up on a Tuesday morning with the lingering smell of woodsmoke in your hair, you just know the previous night had been a good one. In this particular case, Monday evening included a scenic, 30 minute drive south, a spectacular view of the dusky Catskill mountains, a stunningly beautiful event space and … Continue reading Home on The Grange
Ok, it wasn’t a full marathon, it was a couple of miles shy of 26, but it still was a lot of miles (~23!) on my feet over the 30 hours I had available to spend in NYC over the recent holiday weekend.
