Four of us attended Mountain Jam for what was consecutive year number three and I learned two very important things... the first had something to do with knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that everything will be fine because your oldest friends always have your back. The second was equally practical but involved mud, … Continue reading 4, 3, 2…

Hand in Hand Run/Walk
Last Sunday I absolved myself for Saturday night's indulgences by participating in the Hand in Hand Run/Walk down in the Hudson Valley. Let me be honest with you, I'll pretty much take any opportunity to visit with friends in the New Paltz area to enjoy some "adults only" time, but the added bonus of a … Continue reading Hand in Hand Run/Walk
Amy, Aimee
Maybe 10 or 12 years ago, my friend Amy turned me on to Aimee Mann. I don't recall exactly how it happened, but it involved a show at The Egg and an extra ticket. I don't think I had any familiarity with Aimee Mann's music beyond her 'Til Tuesday stuff, but she hit me big. … Continue reading Amy, Aimee

Believe me, though, I would send that forgotten initial fan of the place a "thank you" note if I … Continue reading Mezze
Running for a rider
Last weekend I participated in a fundraiser down in Newburgh, Orange County. Actually, to be specific, it was at Orange County Choppers, which was pretty darn cool. I registered for this race last month when I was still high off of the endorphins from my first 10 K, so, naturally I went with the … Continue reading Running for a rider
Falling in love again. With fall.
I'm sure that many people interpret autumn as the final punctuation to summer's end. I prefer to think of it as more of a transitional time, an opportunity for appreciation and acknowledgement of a summer well-lived. You know me, I'm more a half-full kind of girl. While it is impossible to deny the shift in … Continue reading Falling in love again. With fall.
