After vacillating for days, I made the decision Sunday morning to spend my afternoon catching some bonus paddle boarding time. My early obligation of the day went surprisingly smoothly and I just couldn't resist the opportunity to get on the water for one more time this season. I arrived at the Kayak Shack in Saratoga … Continue reading Has anyone seen the bridge?

Labor Day – sunshine and duck butts
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

He wore his new Mickey Mouse shirt yesterday and absolutely rocked it. Good boy, good trip, good … Continue reading Reflections of Disney

We made a reservation and up the … Continue reading Adirondack Tubing Adventures

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
World Cup recap – bonding over balls and beer
Are you a soccer fan? Prior to the recent World Cup tournament, I certainly wouldn't have declared myself to be one. When I answered Matt Baumgartner's call for temporary employees to assist during the tournament, I was responding as a worker, not a soccer fanatic. But, something has definitely changed. This whole soccer thing? I … Continue reading World Cup recap – bonding over balls and beer
