We're the parents to our children that we wanted for ourselves. When I think of all the cool things my kids have experienced - the trips, the meals, the traditions, I realize how much I wanted to do those things when I was growing up. I'm interested to see how my children parent in the … Continue reading Reflections and a resolution

Capitalizing on Capital Hills
I attended a meeting Tuesday evening in the Club House at Capital Hills. The weather, snowy and wet, was perfectly appropriate for the topic at hand – the sharing of ideas about winter activities at the golf course. As a year round, non-golfing user of the course, I knew this was a meeting I didn’t … Continue reading Capitalizing on Capital Hills
Squirrelly girlies
Last Sunday, while most of you were probably still snug in your jammies sipping coffee, the Lunar B*tches reunited in a parking lot up at Thacher.

I arrived at the Kayak Shack in Saratoga … Continue reading Has anyone seen the bridge?

After a summer spent working and vacationing, I elected to spend this holiday weekend, quietly at home. Friday night I ate al fresco at The Cheese Traveler, devouring my burger and merely indicating yes or no with the motion of my head. So good! Saturday, following a run, I ate at Mingle's bar very much … Continue reading Labor Day – sunshine and duck butts
Urban Raid, 2014 edition
Well, I survived it sore, but generally unscathed. Actually, I finished a respectable 10th out of 46 in my age bracket, which is nothing to be ashamed of, I suppose. But... ...it was really hard! Here's the blow-by-blow: My wave took off at 10:35 from a different starting line than last year's spot on State … Continue reading Urban Raid, 2014 edition
