Okay, I’m just twisting down a shame spiral right now because not only did I neglect to mention yet another theater experience (I added items to the last post, in case you missed it), but I also found a typo in an old post. Am I losing my touch? Did I ever have a touch? … [Read more…]
I’d mentioned To Kill a Mockingbird once before, I thought, but I should have included it again here. That, coupled with the information on The Miracle Worker in today’s Gazette, made me feel a little silly about this post.  I wasn’t even aware of the Curtain Call Theatre.  And Bethlehem High School, too! So … [Read more…]
Sure I was grousing about the snow, but when I went outside this morning, I couldn’t help but feel a little bit giddy. The giddiness subsided a bit over the next hour and a half of clearing driveways and sidewalks, but still: this is a quality snowfall. Perfect packing for snowpeople and snowballs, enough for … [Read more…]
It’s still freakin’ snowing. No, that’s not the news. Although I think that I’ve had about all I can take of embracing winter at this point. But, anyway, have you all heard. . . The Friendly’s at St. James Square in Niskayuna closed. Umm, their service was always super-horrible in my experience, so I am … [Read more…]
Was your reaction, from what? Fleet Feet on Wolf Road in Albany is starting their spring No Boundaries training program. You pay $75 to get someone to kick your non-running butt into training so that you can run a 5K on Father’s Day. I have to tell you, I’m sort of intrigued by this one … [Read more…]
So, the Children’s Museum at Saratoga sent me an email about discounted Great Escape tickets, and it linked to this groovy promotion for nonprofits: buy tickets for $19.99 for one of the specified days–tickets are usually $40.99 + tax. For each ticket bought, $5 goes back to the nonprofit that promotes it. If you want … [Read more…]
We ended up going to Cella Bistro last night. Mmmmmm. . . wild mushroom salad. Super tasty. Today was the first day that I really felt like spring was around the corner. The girls must have spent 2 hours playing in the backyard. Cute husband’s working for the rest of the day (on a Sunday! … [Read more…]
So a mom of a teensy baby requested Saturday classes. You know I have a soft spot for moms of teensy babies. Lucky for me she lives right near me in Schenectady, which made things a little easier for me. One disclaimer: some of these are just the pre-set schedules, so it’s possible that not … [Read more…]
So, it’s my husband’s birthday today. I managed to score a babysitter, but we still haven’t decided what we’re doing. Of course, there’s stuff going on. . . There’s an event called Fat Saturday for the Arts at Revolution Hall in Troy. There’s also a Salsa Social at the Troy Masonic Temple tonight. Proctors is … [Read more…]
Is anyone else exhausted from February break? We took a hike with friends this morning and then went ice skating, so I’m ready for bed about now.  But, perhaps you have more energy than us? If so, do read on. . . All Weekend: There’s New York in Bloom as well as the Gem, Mineral … [Read more…]
