If I think back on music from my childhood, The Beatles immediately come to mind. They were definitely the soundtrack of many car rides in my memory. Freshman year of high school, I remember the painful decision of which album to pick - the Red One or the Blue One. I don't remember which I … Continue reading The Beatles, my boys and a birthday

Y, we’re breaking up
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?

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
