My time as a restaurant owner provided me with some wonderful memories, a banging wine cellar and a collection of Albany-centric art. Not a bad take away really.

Clove Run
Seeing that I have a couple of races next month, running this 10 miler seemed like a good idea when I impulsively registered for it on Thursday.

We did a loop - taking the Petersburg Pass on our way east and coming … Continue reading Day trip – Mass MoCA
3 friends, 2 cities, 1 lucky human – part 2
On Sunday, it was time to head north of Albany with two vintage friends for a little time in Saratoga Springs. We were at our hotel by noon, parked the car and took off on foot to explore Broadway and all it offers. The Holiday Inn where we stayed was super convenient to Congress Park … Continue reading 3 friends, 2 cities, 1 lucky human – part 2
