Every once in a while I hear something, generally on the radio, and it is so damn timely that I’m stopped dead. It can happen in two ways - I hear a phrase or word and suddenly I seem to encounter it everywhere.

Bozen Kill Preserve
I’ve had a really busy month. There was a wedding in Buffalo, a weekend wine fest in Rhinebeck and two Albany events last Saturday.
