How was your Sunday? Mine was wonderfully insane, thank you very much. Why, you ask? Well, I spent my day selling mugs and beer tokens down at Wolff's Biergarten, which may not sound very fun to those of you who aren't into crowds or soccer, but it was right up my alley. There were hundreds … Continue reading World Cup mayhem!

Treetops to Rooftops, 2014
Last Saturday I ran one of my favorite races, Treetops to Rooftops. This run begins in Highland and crosses the river to Poughkeepsie via the Walkway over the Hudson. It's an "out and back" run and I pretty much love everything about it - the friends I run it with, the small size of it … Continue reading Treetops to Rooftops, 2014

Based upon my middle son's recent query about "Why is the number one ingredient in maple syrup water?," I have to think that more must be done to educate children about the difference … Continue reading Maple Weekend 2014
Motherhood and The Silver Star
This is either the perfect book or the worst book to read when you're dealing with an impossible mother-daughter situation. You've been warned. Are you familiar with Jeannette Walls? Her first book, The Glass Castle related the story of her own childhood and was on the NYT's bestseller list for 6 years. It was a … Continue reading Motherhood and The Silver Star
Sunday dinner out in the DelSo
One of the first images to enter my brain last Sunday morning came to me courtesy of an email from Living Social. They were offering a deal for Yanni's Too, a place known for its fried calamari, and the picture accompanying the sales pitch became my obsession and inspiration for the day. Crispy looking golden … Continue reading Sunday dinner out in the DelSo
