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!
Florence + the Machine – SPAC, 9/16/12
Last weekend may have been one of the best weekends ever. The weather was outstanding, the Wine Bar was beautifully busy, Lark Fest was once again a joy, and I got to take my middle son to SPAC to close out the season. Yep, pretty friggin' awesome.

Rock & Run recap
SPAC ~ May 20, 2012Can I blame my less than stellar time (28:27) on Max London?

Welcome!

It was a verbose piece. I used lots of big words, inspired perhaps by my stay last night at the Saratoga Hilton, formerly … Continue reading Welcome!
Rock n Run
Delmar Dash DayI haven't really written too much about running lately...because I've been too damn busy running! I ran a couple of races in March, including the Running of the Green (4 mi., 37:10) and the Ice Breaker Challenge 5k (26:25), while April's focus was the Delmar Dash (5 mi, 43:50). You should know that … Continue reading Rock n Run
Getting all Natty Bumppo
Although I was wearing Lycra instead of deer skin, and had no intention of hunting, that was one of the mental images I had yesterday while I was running through the woods on my maiden trail run. Another internal movie clip involved my being in a Black-Eyed Peas video, but I digress... Have you ever … Continue reading Getting all Natty Bumppo
