There was a bit of traffic yesterday evening when I was driving down Delaware Avenue to meet a friend at the Lark Street Wine Bar & Bistro. The traffic was typical end of the work day stuff, nothing too extreme, but there were a number of occasions when other drivers were looking to be allowed … Continue reading Can we? Will we?

That’s Not My Name
When I was in 1st grade I started spelling my name "Sylvia" because that was the way everyone else (i.e. my teachers) spelled it.
