I don't know when it happened but it seems that finding a delicious peach has become a challenge on par with picking the trifecta at Saratoga. I mean, your odds of buying a flavorful, juicy peach are even less favorable than that of a thoroughbred surviving a hot summer season in the Spa City.

Taking my guests for a ride – cab service in Albany
Tuesday night we had a number of diners who were decompressing after Day 1 of the NYS Bar exam. It's always interesting to meet and talk with young attorneys from literally around the world who are seeking credentials to practice in my home state.

Terrapin restaurant in Rhinebeck has been around for a long time, maybe 15 years at their current location inside a beautiful old church right on Route 9. Many years ago, I had dinner there with three other people and was completely put off by the service. I don't remember anything about the food because the … Continue reading The turtle that is Terrapin, Rhinebeck
Taking a hike with a runner
My very first vacation with my former husband was a trip to Washington State where we spent a week or so camping and hiking. It was a memorable trip for many reasons (the San Juan Islands – oh my goodness!) but by no means did the experience turn me into an outdoors women a la … Continue reading Taking a hike with a runner
