During last night's run, a song I was unfamiliar with came on my Spotify playlist. The voice was familiar, but it took me a minute to bring the vocalist's name to my lips...Lana Del Ray. As I listened, a face popped into my mind and I smiled, thinking of the now-graduated student who had brought … Continue reading Music lessons

Last Run and a good run
This past weekend may have been close to perfect. One of my favorite girls arrived prior to the snow and we settled in to an afternoon of satisfying household tasks.

Minnewaska must mean “beautiful” in Native American
In what feels like a previous lifetime, my girlfriends and I would meet in the mountains outside of New Paltz for our annual hike. There were years before the babies came, and even a couple of years after the oldest of the babies were born, when we would simply amble along a path by the … Continue reading Minnewaska must mean “beautiful” in Native American
Love and hate in the 518
Knowing me as you do, you can probably predict that there are far more things that I love about the Capital District than I hate. How about we just get the negatives on the table so we can get to the good stuff? I really hate the careless drivers I observe during my runs around … Continue reading Love and hate in the 518
