Took a quick drive over to North Adams yesterday to see the Nick Cave exhibit. I mean, I had to - too many of my friends have posted pictures of the installation and I needed to see it in person. 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

The profoundness of This is Us
As is usual for me and television, I'm more than a little late to the game on one of the buzziest new series, This is Us. I needed something to follow an embarrassing number of binge watched seasons of Project Runway and was pleased to see that TiU was available on Hulu. A single episode … Continue reading The profoundness of This is Us
Ms. Bixby’s Last Day – John David Anderson

It’s just getting away from now. At a time when I sometimes feel physically assaulted by the daily news, a low budget escape is … Continue reading Ms. Bixby’s Last Day – John David Anderson
