Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
You know I don’t do Tik-Tok, right? I certainly understand its appeal, but, in all honesty, I find it to be the crack of social media. All that endless scrolling… I don’t want to spend my hours doing that, not at this point in my one precious life. Because of my Tik-Tok avoidance, I often … Continue reading Escape to NYC
During a pause in my preparations for Maine, I thought of some info to share with you about a few spots closer to home. In the past week or so, I’ve ventured slightly south to hit up a couple of cool places, some new, some well established, of which you should be aware. First up … Continue reading Take me to the river(towns!)
I think it’s pretty clear that my moods (and mental health) are being determined to a great extent by the current situation in the States.

Especially when sleep does not … Continue reading How can we sleep at night?

But, during the height of tomato season, the siren call of a blt is undeniable. I must have one. This beautiful specimen may be the epitome … Continue reading The best BLT (and my first peach pie!)
Over the more than 30 miles I walked last week in Chicago, it seemed like everywhere I looked there were flowers - hibiscus, black eyed susans, coleus, lilies and hydrangea were all present and accounted for. It was beautiful. Since arriving back at home, I’ve made it a point to take notice of all of … Continue reading Bloom where you’re planted
My stay in Northampton last week provided me with a wonderful opportunity to spend some real time in an area that I’ve come to know over the years only superficially. I’ve attended shows there numerous times, in a few different venues, and have experienced some of what NoHo has to offer, but in no way … Continue reading NoHo (area) top 10
