Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
Since Covid, my hair maintenance has greatly diminished. What had been a cut and some color on a routinely scheduled interval became a basic trim on a much more widely spaced frequency. I grew out my bangs and discovered that the width of my forehead no longer seemed so extreme that it needed to be … Continue reading Chop to lob
On my last visit to the Bay Area, I recall seeing vehicles that were learning the streets of San Francisco in preparation for the introduction of driverless cars. Five years later, the research is complete and driverless cars are a regularly appearing and convenient car service.

I am so happy that I … Continue reading The Olde Pink House
