Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
This first September of freedom retirement contains a number of events that I’m happy my less committed calendar will allow me to attend. While I’m unable to do all of them* I absolutely will be hitting at least a couple of these happenings. Let’s begin with a Back to School night that everyone can get … Continue reading A few things on my radar this month…
