I’ve been on a Rolling Stones kick recently. Maybe it was that tribute band I went to see a couple of weeks ago at The Hangar. I listened to them all the way on my run today from home to Troy, where I met my neighbor at event and caught a ride home. It wasn’t … Continue reading Processing

3 nights, 3 burgers
It’s been a weird week. I’ve consistently been one day ahead of the calendar, thinking today was tomorrow, and each time I mentally corrected myself, I was disappointed to find myself a day “behind.” See? This is what happens when I have too much free time - I can't keep track of it. While concluding … Continue reading 3 nights, 3 burgers

It is possible to check out events in three different counties in … Continue reading 10 Things I discovered Columbus Day weekend
Birthday – present, early and late
I sent out some invitations to a party I'm throwing to celebrate my 50th. The guest list was challenging - there are so many people I want to raise a glass with, but space is limited and I want to relax and enjoy the event rather than feel pressured to entertain. I ultimately decided to … Continue reading Birthday – present, early and late
Dueling croissants aux amandes
A number of years ago my friend, Paul, turned me on to almond croissants and my world became a sweeter place. I think there were three in the box he originally brought to my house. I know I wished there were more. On Paul's advice, prior to stuffing my face, I placed my croissant in … Continue reading Dueling croissants aux amandes
