For more than 10 years, we’ve been an item. I've used 4 of your facilities in the Capital District, but my usual spot was the Greenbush branch. There had been a time when I frequented the Bethlehem location in the mornings, but since you cancelled the two classes for which I was willing to wake … Continue reading Y, we’re breaking up

How much is that doggie in the window?
I've been stressing about getting a puppy. There were the usual considerations, of course. When? What type of puppy? From where? Added to my dilemma was the criticism I received from a number of my friends on Facebook.

Good … Continue reading It’s like apples and squid?
The present of time
It's been one of those weeks.* I'm sure you've had them yourself - an event Monday night, 3 consecutive Tuesday meetings, a late night at work Wednesday, a soccer game...you've been there. I've been longingly anticipating Sunday, the only day on this week's calendar which is completely open. Of course, when I say "completely open" … Continue reading The present of time
Love and hate in the 518
Knowing me as you do, you can probably predict that there are far more things that I love about the Capital District than I hate. How about we just get the negatives on the table so we can get to the good stuff? I really hate the careless drivers I observe during my runs around … Continue reading Love and hate in the 518
