One of the highlights of my recent overnight in NYC with my youngest son was a couple of hours spent touring the Intrepid aircraft carrier. We’ve visited this historic vessel before, but it’s been a long time and the Memorial Day holiday provided the perfect reason to go back again. We arrived at about noon, … Continue reading On (being) the Intrepid

The truth will set you free
Somehow I’ve always thought that phrase was an invitation for someone to unburden themselves by being honest, but recently I’ve begun to interpret it in a new way - the truth can also release a person from a situation in which they’ve been lied to repeatedly and consistently.

I parked on South Lake and meandered along the “lake,” making … Continue reading Tulips and kisses – Albany love
Seneca 7
Three days post-race and I’m thinking I may have peaked in terms of muscle soreness.

You know, that spring weekend when it … Continue reading Seneca 7
