Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
Am I alone in thinking that as the days get longer, life gets busier? It feels like the past couple of weeks have been really jam packed with events, work and household tasks, leaving little time for reflecting or writing. I would be remiss, however, if I failed to share my most recent Troy adventure … Continue reading Flowers + Friends + Finn’s = Fun
After what feels like years, I finally got to Saratoga’s beloved Osteria Danny. I had dined once before in the physical space where Danny is located, many years ago, when it was a northern outpost of my Albany fav, Cafe Capriccio, but hadn’t been able to find my way back until last weekend when circumstances … Continue reading Sunday dinner at Osteria Danny

I made it to two boroughs, 3 restaurants and The Met, as well as … Continue reading (My own) NYC Marathon
No, I’m not talking about the legendary marijuana I recall (hearing about) from my youth, I’m speaking about a special event this week at The Aviary in Kinderhook. Remember a few weeks ago when it felt like the entire world was on fire? While the tragedy in Lahaina may no longer be in the headlines, … Continue reading Maui wowie
Last Sunday, my fella and I road tripped south to Beacon’s Dia modern art museum. To be completely truthful our destination was completely secondary to the fact that we were seeking a good midway point between Albany and Long Island City. You see, one of my 41 paternal first cousins was in town from Ireland … Continue reading Art (of) Mexican
