UNNOTICED RITES OF PASSAGE
Rites of passage are usually celebrated moments: graduation, marriage, getting a coveted job or promotion. And then there are those rites of passage that just happen without our being aware. When did it happen that I began to walk around a puddle, instead of detouring directly through it? When did the smell of bubble gum become gross? When did I ... Read More » -

IT’S ALL GREEK TO ME
Fellow blogger Claire and her husband will be pleased to know that I’ve come around to Greek wines. It isn’t that I thought of Greek wines as being bad, per se. It’s that I really didn’t give them much thought at all. Back in Sept, barVino closed its door and the staff took a field trip to NYC and the ... Read More » -

WHO PUT THAT STOP SIGN THERE?
WAIT! WHAAAAT? Who put that stop sign there? Apparently the fine City of Albany found a few extra stop signs in its warehouses, and has decided to install them randomly throughout the city. Yeah, yeah. If it was my neighborhood, I would probably be happy, too, to have drivers slow down more often. I need to find a new way ... Read More » -
