I’ve been receiving emails about fall classes, so I thought that I’d share a few: Yoga with Cathy: this instructor has some serious groupies, and she’s got classes for pregnant moms, parents & teensy babies, toddlers, and more. Music Box Arts: these Music Together class begin later in September, but there are free demo classes … [Read more…]
Okay, my parents are visiting and we’re meeting cute W in downtown Albany for lunch tomorrow, but any suggestions on what else we should do? Went to State Museum with them last time, Albany Institute & Albany Art Room are closed on Mondays, too wet & chilly for outdoor fun, don’t want to stray too … [Read more…]
My final Lake Placid report includes what I’d consider to be our least successful day. For me, there’s a ratio that I have in my head regarding any outings. Well, that’s not true: I just thought of it. But it’s informally lodged in my subconscious, I guess, and it goes something like this: Kid Enjoyment … [Read more…]
Okay, collecting events today made me a little wistful. . . summer programs are winding down. Here’s what I’ve found: All Weekend: The Altamont Fair continues, but Sunday is the last day. The Wiz is playing on Friday and Saturday night at 7 pm at Freedom Park in Scotia. The Valleycats are playing baseball every … [Read more…]
Here’s what’s going on this week: All Week: The Altamont Fair begins on the 17th and continues to the 22nd. This is a big deal, and very fun.

I’ll have a week’s schedule out tomorrow. I can’t do it tonight. Perhaps I can play upon your sympathy? I went and visited two of my sisters this weekend. This sisterly-bonding trip was not as relaxing as it might sound. I’m not going into it. Well, if you run into me personally and ask, I’ll … [Read more…]
I keep forgetting to add it to the weekend post, but a friend recently took her young kids to the Double M Western Store Rodeo in Ballston Spa, and she said it was “a blast”. It’s on Friday and Saturday nights at 8 pm until September 3rd. They’ve got pony rides, clowns, and barrel riding … [Read more…]
Hey! It’s almost Friday the 13th! It’s supposed to be lucky if you were born on the 13th. . . which I was. So, woo, hoo! Of course, most people still go with spooky. In fact, at the Saratoga Race Track, they’re encouraging kids to come in costume and parade and trick or treat. Here … [Read more…]
Just received more than my usual share of late notifications about events this week. There’s a Sling Babies gathering on Wednesday morning, open pottery at Albany Art Room on Thursday afternoon, a Family Dance at the Bach Branch Thursday evening. For details, see the updates on my This Week post.
Nights are getting cooler and events are already beginning to wind down, but there’s still plenty to do: All Week: The Wiz will play at 5:30 pm from Tuesday to Sunday at the Washington Park Playhouse in Albany.   Meanwhile, Annie Get Your Gun continues Tuesday through Sunday at 8 pm. The last day for these … [Read more…]
