Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
Now that the awards season is basically over, let’s talk about who got robbed. While I’m happy enough with the results of the Oscars (yeah, Emma Stone!), I’m still shaking my head at the knowledge that Better Call Saul was nominated for 53 Emmy Awards over its six year run and won not a single … Continue reading Saul better call a lawyer

I made it to two boroughs, 3 restaurants and The Met, as well as … Continue reading (My own) NYC Marathon
