Following what may have been the best June ever and a July that was fantastic, August has started with a bang! Last night I had a primo Albany evening - drinks with friends, a concert that was beyond all expectations and a late night walk around the Empire State Plaza. Plus, there was the bonus … Continue reading Catching a Lyft to see the Shakes
(My own)National Night Out
Tonight, August 1st is National Night Out (NNO). There are all sorts of cool things going on around our pretty little city and I hope that you'll get to enjoy some of the planned events.

We did a loop - taking the Petersburg Pass on our way east and coming … Continue reading Day trip – Mass MoCA

That's just how things work in our overwhelmingly democratic capital city. I've noticed while driving and running around town that there are a … Continue reading Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs
