Following what may have been the best June ever and a July that was fantastic, August has started with a bang! Last night I had a primo Albany evening - drinks with friends, a concert that was beyond all expectations and a late night walk around the Empire State Plaza. Plus, there was the bonus … Continue reading Catching a Lyft to see the Shakes

(My own)National Night Out
Tonight, August 1st is National Night Out (NNO). There are all sorts of cool things going on around our pretty little city and I hope that you'll get to enjoy some of the planned events. I scored a ticket yesterday for tonight's Alabama Shakes show at the Palace, so I'll be missing the celebration. Or, … Continue reading (My own)National Night Out

This will … Continue reading Deutschland, 2017

Speaking of things that are a weird height, the cool guys were all wearing pants that we would have called "floods (short for floodwaters)" back in the day. Lots of exposed ankles. In general, … Continue reading NYC observations
