Lark Street on a sunny day

What a gorgeous weekend, huh?  For a change, I had nothing going on other than a series of mini-dates with friends.  I got outside a bit, visited with my neighbors, and attended to some tasks involving seasonal wardrobe changes for myself and the boys. All in all a productive and relaxing couple of days.  Lark Street … Continue reading Lark Street on a sunny day →

David Gray ~ Beacon Theater

                                          About 20 years ago, when I was still in a position to make rules for "Living Silvia Style," I decided that I would never decline an opportunity to experience something new.  Other than ecstasy or other recreational drugs, that is.  As for those substances, thanks, but I'm not interested, even when it is a famous actor … Continue reading David Gray ~ Beacon Theater →

Dinner at Max London’s

I don't often get to Saratoga, which is unfortunate because there are some places there that I definitely enjoy.  There are also a number of joints which I've been wanting to try;  places like Sperry's, Maestro's, and Max London's.  Friday night I finally got to Max London's - with basically good results.  I wasn't blown away by Max's food … Continue reading Dinner at Max London’s →
