Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
I can’t remember why I started referring to the man I had been dating at the time as a type of cheese, (manchego, specifically), but I have no interest in scrolling back 4 years to be reminded. He is a person that I don’t really think of often and I see no point in revisiting … Continue reading The Stinky Cheeseman
When it comes to NYC, I’m a bit of a traditionalist. I’m more inclined to revisit my favorite spots rather than to continually try new places.

There are many sites posting suggestions for best deals and lists featuring what to buy where, along with tips on how to manage the purchasing process. There are many special prices and … Continue reading Please stop celebrating consumerism as a holiday
The drive to Wellfleet is as familiar to me as my oldest (circa 1997) pair of Doc Marten’s. I guess it makes sense. I’ve been making this trip for nearly half of my life. I’m not sure exactly what prompted it but, on this most recent visit to Wellfleet, I was acutely aware of my … Continue reading Cape Cod senses working overtime
