Last night my soccer playing middle son and I went down to Wolff's Biergarten to take in the women's World Cup semi-final game. It was a great match up - #1 ranked Germany vs #2 USA and we, along with the majority of those present, were thrilled when our women were victorious with a final … Continue reading Let’s party like it’s 1999

Taken for a ride
It began with a simple email. I had seen an article recently about an authentic WWII bomber plane coming to visit Albany and knew two of my three sons would be interested in getting up close and personal with a piece of history. I forwarded the story to my 18 y/o and he immediately responded wanting … Continue reading Taken for a ride

One of my summer goals is to make at least half of these runs and, so … Continue reading ARE – Summer Trail Series, Week 1
