Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
As I sat on the deck on only the second Monday of my summer break, I was feeling kind of astounded by how much I’ve done already…I worked a couple of nights at The Aviary, drove to Wellfleet where I enjoyed 3 full days of activity, spent the day poolside at Victoria Pool as the … Continue reading 3 fantastic days on the outer Cape
Am I alone in thinking that as the days get longer, life gets busier? It feels like the past couple of weeks have been really jam packed with events, work and household tasks, leaving little time for reflecting or writing.

Our gracious hosts … Continue reading $600 hair appliances and other current obsessions
