As I close in on 30 years as a resident, I still find myself charmed by Albany. Don’t get me wrong, there are things that make me insane (folks who double park when there is an available space, I’m talking to you!), but I continue to fall in love with my adopted city.

Peace, love and cupcakes – Woodstock, N.Y.
Yesterday I headed down to Woodstock to meet the girls for a little shopping and some catch up time.
