Monday night I attended a vigil at the NYS Capitol sponsored by the Capital Pride Center. The event, to honor the victims of Saturday night’s massacre in Orlando (not to be confused with previous massacres we’ve witnessed) was organized in the afterglow of Albany’s Pride celebration. How’s that for tragic irony, people? I gathered with a … Continue reading Hatred & Heroes

Inspiring vs. Inciting – Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump
Yesterday was a huge day for politics in Albany, our Capital City on the Hudson. My schedule only allowed for me to attend one of the three pre-primary political rallies, but I am ever so proud to say that my older sons represented at the two events held during the early afternoon.

The precariousness of balance
Last Monday while I attended the Leap Day event at the University Club, my tightly wrapped world unraveled a bit.

To begin, Monday night has been declared as … Continue reading The precariousness of balance
