Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
I have a distinct memory of childhood. I was lying flat on my back in a shallowly filled tub and I noticed that I had a puddle in my chest. It was, to my eyes, deep and I called my mother into the bathroom so she, too, could have a look at it. She assured … Continue reading My boobs have been good to me
I had briefly mentioned that N. and I had spent some recent time in North Adams, MA. I’m back now with all the deets, because you just might want to take some notes and replicate the experience we had. It was really that good.
