Moments in Munich

Spending 48 hours in a city like Munich, especially when the weather is outstanding, is practically criminal. I should be embarrassed by how little I actually learned about the city or how to navigate my way around it. I concluded, though, that I do better with that sort of thing when I travel solo. If … Continue reading Moments in Munich

Lunch at Dancing Ewe Farm

Ever since I first heard from friends about Dancing Ewe Farm in Washington County, I’ve wanted to get there. I loved the romantic story about the owners meeting in Italy and coming together to create a life that includes family, sheep, cheese and authentic small production Italian products imported and sold from their barn and … Continue reading Lunch at Dancing Ewe Farm

It happens so slowly that I don’t know if it’s truly even possible for us to see it. Or maybe I should “me?” I probably shouldn’t assume this is a universal thing...

We met while working in various … Continue reading Summer starts strong

I ran a race on Wednesday, almost the longest day of the year, that … Continue reading Ghosts and cobwebs

I told a story

For months I’ve been seeing posts on Facebook promoting the Front Parlor Series - public storytelling in the Capital Region.

Needless to say, I’ve been … Continue reading I told a story
