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. Nonetheless, Thursday night we hit the Northway and arrived promptly for our 6:45 reservation. While the downstairs bar was completely empty, the … Continue reading Saratoga bites

Reflections after 2 days of being Wined and Dined
I was lucky enough to shoot photos at two related events this past weekend in downtown Albany. In case you are one of the few residents of the Capital District who I didn't run into (and have been living under a rock), this weekend was the 5th annual Albany Wine and Dine for the Arts, … Continue reading Reflections after 2 days of being Wined and Dined

All I can say is this: I mentally made it a grey squirrel rather than the despised red squirrel … Continue reading Another squirrel story!
Rocking out the summer – part 1
In the past few months, I've been to some really great shows up at SPAC. Despite the cold start to the season, Memorial Day weekend, when Griffin and I went to see both nights of the Dave Matthews Band, and the ridiculous prices demanded by Live Nation for shows and refreshments, I gotta say, it … Continue reading Rocking out the summer – part 1
The Warrior Dash as a life metaphor – updated*
Yesterday, I mastered my third consecutive Warrior Dash down in Windham. How was it, you ask? Well...it was really hard - maybe the hardest one yet, for me. A beautiful foggy early morning had turned into a sunny and bright late morning and the temperature had somehow crept up into the 80s. When I jumped … Continue reading The Warrior Dash as a life metaphor – updated*
