If you see something, say something. That’s what they tell you, right? Well, what about if you hear something? Same rule goes, I guess. At least that was my motivation when I originally phoned the police to share some information a number of years ago after a fire in my neighborhood.

A half dozen halves
I recently ran my 6th half marathon - a claim I never imagined writing, much less accomplishing. The race, Rosendale Runs organized by the Shawagunk Runners group, was essentially a rail trail course, with a couple of miles at the beginning on the road.
