Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
There’s nothing like looking back on a couple of months of writing to remind me of the active life I lead. Check out the links below for ideas and inspiration for your own recreational activities.

Did you ever see the film In the Realm of the Senses? I went to see it a million years ago at The Spectrum Theater.
