Ok, maybe that isn't 100% true, but she really did get me started on my Troy education. When I first moved to Albany almost 25 years ago, I received some advice from a childhood friend regarding Troy. He said, and I quote, "Troy is the armpit of the Universe." I was uncertain exactly what that … Continue reading Everything I know about Troy, I learned from Mary Panza

Smooth operator
A recipe for you, courtesy of Quinn Lilly, for a fast breakfast treat for the whole family. Here's the "list*" of ingredients: Place together in blender and push the button. Simple! Seeing as how we're (finally) done with foil-wrapped chocolate Easter eggs, I imagine we'll be modifying this recipe. What will remain consistent is the … Continue reading Smooth operator

I don't think I had any familiarity with Aimee Mann's music beyond her 'Til Tuesday stuff, but she hit me big. … Continue reading Amy, Aimee
Dash is done!
No, not my commitment to an insane schedule - the Delmar Dash 5 miler. This was my first race of the year (!) and the longest run I've had in nearly 3 weeks. And that's longest run out of 2. The weather on the quick drive over, was silly. What was sunny and blue in … Continue reading Dash is done!
The Paris Wife
"Though I often looked for one, I finally had to admit that there could be no cure for Paris." Isn't that an inspired opening line? I, regrettably, just finished reading The Paris Wife and all I can do is sigh that it is over. Wow, I almost feel as if I just had 2 trips … Continue reading The Paris Wife
