Following what may have been the best June ever and a July that was fantastic, August has started with a bang! Last night I had a primo Albany evening - drinks with friends, a concert that was beyond all expectations and a late night walk around the Empire State Plaza.

(My own)National Night Out
Tonight, August 1st is National Night Out (NNO). There are all sorts of cool things going on around our pretty little city and I hope that you'll get to enjoy some of the planned events.

Day trip – Mass MoCA
Took a quick drive over to North Adams yesterday to see the Nick Cave exhibit. I mean, I had to - too many of my friends have posted pictures of the installation and I needed to see it in person.

I was more than a little surprised since the charge was levied on Tuesday, June 20 and I had deposited a substantial certified check, via the ATM, on 6/17. I find myself … Continue reading Define “next business day,” Trustco
3 nights, 3 burgers
It’s been a weird week. I’ve consistently been one day ahead of the calendar, thinking today was tomorrow, and each time I mentally corrected myself, I was disappointed to find myself a day “behind.” See? This is what happens when I have too much free time - I can't keep track of it. While concluding … Continue reading 3 nights, 3 burgers
