Last week while I was in Barcelona I ran four consecutive days, including the very day we arrived. The leisurely pace of our vacation and the magnetic pull of the Mediterranean made taking a run an impulse that I could not deny. It was a gift I gave to myself, almost a souvenir that took … Continue reading Running reflections

Sketches of Spain
Have you ever listened to this album by Miles Davis? It's one of my favorites and sets the mood for so many things - a romantic dinner, a quiet conversation, time alone with your special someone.

A crap week
The first week of spring, arguably the finest season of the year in upstate New York, was the worst week Lark + Lily has ever experienced. When I say "crappy," I'm being literal, by the way. I arrived at the restaurant Tuesday afternoon and encountered the plumbers who were working industriously to unclog one of … Continue reading A crap week
