Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
My first thought upon looking at my cell phone and seeing that my iPhone had no service, was that I must need to restart it. When I’m at work, I generally have the WiFi turned off and sometimes Verizon doesn’t work very well within the confines of the building.

(As promised, the second part of last weekend. This time, however, the Fired Up is refers to the fire tower out in Grafton and the going up it that was our plan for the early afternoon.) Just like Saturday, I spent much of Sunday outdoors, this time on the east side of the Hudson. My … Continue reading Fired Up, Part 2

It feels like the past couple of weeks have been really jam packed with events, work and household tasks, leaving little time for reflecting or writing. I would be remiss, however, if I failed to share my most recent Troy adventure … Continue reading Flowers + Friends + Finn’s = Fun

While I’m not yet convinced that’ll be the case, I’m always down for a cute bob and flapper dress, so consider me interested. Friday was a productive day for me. I closed on my refi, stocked up … Continue reading Back to the Garden -Troy Night Out
