Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
I’m not going to lie - when the special evening in Woodstock which had been planned for my birthday had to be canceled because of a family event, I was less than happy. I’d never been to a Ramble before and I was looking forward to making a night of it, including drinks at Silvia, … Continue reading Let’s go (to) Brandon!
With growing older comes the understanding that life truly is about moments, not years.
