For the second year in a row my middle son and I went to both nights of the Dave Matthews Band's pretty much annual stop at SPAC. As always, Carter smiled continuously as he banged the drums and Dave praised the crowd and venue. We had a good time and I got some great crowd … Continue reading Two Step while trying not to step in anything disgusting

Hello, Wall!
After working for 16 of the last 18 days, I finally hit the wall today. Maybe you heard the sound of me crashing around 4:30 Sunday afternoon when I returned home from the Hong Kong Bakery, my belly full of terrific Chinese food. My initial thought had been to grab Jeter and head down to … Continue reading Hello, Wall!
Saratoga bites
A few months back I bought a Living Social deal for Javier's in Saratoga. My motivation was to enjoy a night out and sample some of Brian Bowden's food. Well, you know how that worked out.

The sky was dry but it rained the blues
I did it. After 25 years of living in Albany, I finally made it up to SPAC to take in some of the Freihofer's Jazz Fest this weekend. Wow! So, that's what it's like to be treated like an adult at an event at SPAC. Bravo! I promise this isn't going to be an anti-Live … Continue reading The sky was dry but it rained the blues
Happy Halloween!
I don't know when Halloween became a holiday for adults, or more specifically for women to wear to trampy costumes, but I finally found an event that combined Zombies, running and charity - the rUNDEAD 5k in Saratoga State Park. This inaugural trail run race was held last Sunday morning, with proceeds benefiting the Special … Continue reading Happy Halloween!
