Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
You might be surprised to learn this but, I hate flying. Between my tendency to experience motion sickness and my discomfort with feeling as if I’m not in control, flying prompts intense anxiety before I even board the plane. Monday night’s eerie smoky sky sunset with its post apocalyptic vibe did not quell my nerves. … Continue reading Fear. Less.
Man, this weather, huh? Summer has never been my favorite season, other than for the time off work, and this year has not swayed me in the slightest. Temperatures in the 90°s, coupled with ridiculous humidity, leave me feeling lazy and unproductive - two adjectives with which I don’t like being associated. It turns out … Continue reading Summer morning walks

Today was the last work day of my academic year. It was also the day I finalized, I hope, my Rent the Runway items for next month’s trip to Italy. It’s been a process - hearting items and adding them to my Italy, 2023 list, being on the site when they became available in my … Continue reading Dressing for la vita dolce life
