Following what may have been the best June ever and a July that was fantastic, August has started with a bang! Last night I had a primo Albany evening - drinks with friends, a concert that was beyond all expectations and a late night walk around the Empire State Plaza.

Tonight, August 1st is National Night Out (NNO). There are all sorts of cool things going on around our pretty little city and I hope that you'll get to enjoy some of the planned events. I scored a ticket yesterday for tonight's Alabama Shakes show at the Palace, so I'll be missing the celebration. Or, … Continue reading (My own)National Night Out
Films x 5
I've been on a bit of a tear recently when it comes to watching movies.

3 nights, 3 burgers
It’s been a weird week. I’ve consistently been one day ahead of the calendar, thinking today was tomorrow, and each time I mentally corrected myself, I was disappointed to find myself a day “behind.” See? This is what happens when I have too much free time - I can't keep track of it. While concluding … Continue reading 3 nights, 3 burgers
