As a Christmas gift to myself, I bought a 23 and Me kit. I grew up not knowing any biological family members and I was curious to see how much of the limited family lore might be confirmed - or disproven. For years I had considered my heritage to be pretty cut and dry (50% … Continue reading 23 and me – yes, me!

It’a all Greek to me
I’ve been planning vacations for long time. Usually it’s pretty simple - pick a destination, figure out which airport/airline makes the most sense and then find a place to stay. Easy. Last year I upped the ante by putting a trip involving 4 cities in 3 countries together, but that seems effortless now when compared … Continue reading It’a all Greek to me
(The) freedom of obligation

Like “hooking up,” for instance. But, I digress. Let’s get to where Hepburn and Tracy trysted! During my … Continue reading Where Hepburn and Tracy trysted

Last weekend, while Albany hunkered down for a powerful snowstorm and arctic temperatures, I hopped on a nonstop flight to Ft. Lauderdale. Ultimate destination: Miami Beach. Despite the government shutdown, my timing was good and I made it through Albany International (*giggle*) Airport security in no time and boarded the JetBlue flight in the second … Continue reading Memories of Miami
Black lace forever
Look at this top.... isn’t it amazing? It’s been mine for the last 24 years, but it’s time for me to pass it on to someone else. Even though that breaks my heart a little. I still love it and think it’s beautifully unique and well made, but it doesn’t fit me right and I … Continue reading Black lace forever
