Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
Traveling exclusively with carryon luggage in the winter, is a far greater challenge than summer packing. Obviously, sweaters and long pants take up far more space than swimsuits and sundresses, but temperatures and precipitation can be much more unpredictable and I like to be prepared for whatever comes my way. Add a couple of festive … Continue reading Roman Holiday wardrobe
Sunday morning I awoke very early, even earlier than the time my alarm was set for and that was at an hour that I hadn’t started my day at in months. I pulled some clothes on, brushed my teeth and texted my fellow sunrise appreciative vacationer friend to confirm that she was awake and ready … Continue reading Daybreak
Taste Finn’s girl dinner: The Caesar salad is a dynamite medley of crisp/crunchy/salty/fishy/cheesy. So good. The fries are a most worthy companion. See Too Much: I love Megan Statler on Hacks and I love her even more in Lena Dunham’s latest project. Both characters are strong, yet surprisingly sensitive, women with a unique perspective and … Continue reading Sense(s)

It’s felt good, in spite of the paralyzing heat, to be home and spending time … Continue reading Blowing into the Windy City
My stay in Northampton last week provided me with a wonderful opportunity to spend some real time in an area that I’ve come to know over the years only superficially. I’ve attended shows there numerous times, in a few different venues, and have experienced some of what NoHo has to offer, but in no way … Continue reading NoHo (area) top 10
