I’ve had a really busy month. There was a wedding in Buffalo, a weekend wine fest in Rhinebeck and two Albany events last Saturday. I’m not complaining about the state of my social/work calendar at all, but I do feel as though Jeter has been a little neglected recently and I can’t coast on his … Continue reading Bozen Kill Preserve

It’a all Greek to me
I’ve been planning vacations for long time. Usually it’s pretty simple - pick a destination, figure out which airport/airline makes the most sense and then find a place to stay. Easy.

I made it up the first long, steep hill without pause, … Continue reading Sometimes running makes me cry

The cloudless blue sky and mild temperatures made it easy to lose myself for a couple … Continue reading Hiking with the golden girls

I said desert, not dessert, folks… As a fair skinned, half Irish person, I never imagined that I would be so captivated by the desert, specifically Palm Springs, but I absolutely love it there. There’s something about the dry heat, spectacular mountains and clear, cool nights … Continue reading Going back to Cali
