In our ongoing quest to check items off our runner’s bucket list, Chrissy and I headed south to take on Sunday's Walkway over the Hudson half. Due to the crazy early start time (7:00 a.m. with a suggested arrival time of 90 minutes earlier), we drove down Saturday evening and enjoyed a few hours of … Continue reading Walkway over the Hudson Half Marathon – 6/11/17
Window dressing
When my main bathroom was renovated a number of years ago, we reconfigured it and moved all of the fixtures within the space. I sacrificed my linen closet in favor of a larger, jetted tub which is located below the room's window. Since I would never want to offend my neighbors with nudity, I covered … Continue reading Window dressing

In the past week there have been two instances … Continue reading Humor is kind of funny
PS L+L v2
I've written before about some of what I've learned from owning a business, specifically a restaurant.

I went into … Continue reading PS L+L v2
Postscript L+L
There are so many thoughts and ideas bouncing around in my head about my experience as a business owner. It's like too many, almost, and the words are choking me instead of flying out of my mouth. I can't settle on where to start. Other than with Day 1. Waking up Saturday morning was different. … Continue reading Postscript L+L
