There’s a ton of events going on this weekend, so I’ll have that list out in the next post, but meanwhile, in an effort to get out of this posting-late-at-night-when-I’m-super-sleepy mode, I thought that I’d have a little food interlude. I don’t know if you’ve all seen Jamie Oliver’s TED Talk. If you haven’t, you’ve … [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…]
We had pretty much tired ourselves out today by 2 pm. We saw Rumpelstiltskin at Steamer 10 Theatre, then we had a quick bite at home and headed out to ice skate at Union College.  If we go to a show again this week, I think we’d make it a nap-time show at 1 pm … [Read more…]

The news from Haiti is so horrible. I thought that this site, which talks a little about how you can give most effectively when there’s a disaster far away, was … [Read more…]
Just quickly– We’re going to see Magic at Steamer 10 — they’re already in the car! Apparently many of these vacation shows are still available. Jennifer Silverman, one of the editors of My Baby Rides the Short Bus: The Unabashedly Human Experience of Raising Kids with Disabilities, will be signing books at 2 pm at … [Read more…]
I’m generally a very cheap person, from a long line of cheap people. (At Thanksgiving my sisters and I realized that three of us were wearing–with modifications–the same unbelievably unflattering Old Navy harem pants because we couldn’t pass up the super-sale deal. I tried to find a link, but the Old Navy people are so … [Read more…]
