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...guess which of these wristbands was the most fun to wear? I'll give you a clue - it wasn't the one on the bottom nor was it the one on the top, which obviously leaves the one in the middle.I had my surgery Thursday afternoon and everything went well. The surgeon was very pleased and … Continue reading Wristbands
