Mondays are generally the day of my training schedule for cross training. Last week was week one of marathon training for me but in reality, it was week six. Yes, I started at week six. So last week, I did a DVD that included some cardio and some weight training. It was a good 30 [...]

Sunday, I spent a good portion of the day at Rec Park in Binghamton. There was a live music fest that ran from 1 pm to almost 9 pm. Eight bands played a 40 minute set. The music ran the gamut from jazz to Dixieland to Zydeco to rock. It was a wonderful day and [...]

So many things go into the quality of life we all enjoy in our various communities. The community itself looks to enhance the quality of life for its residents in attempts to keep people interested in living in the community. I have found that one item that really plays to quality of my life is [...]

I decided this weekend was a good weekend for a road trip. My youngest is away with his father. The only kids at home are adults – 25, 23, 19. I headed to the Finger Lakes for the second time in as many weekends. I went to Watkins Glen back on Memorial Day weekend and [...]
Spartan Theatre Company Presents …

… or actually presented Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.” My son has gone from loving being on the stage crew to loving being in the spotlight. This is a good thing for the Spartan Theatre Company as there is a true shortage of male actors, just as there are shortages of male voices in choruses. The [...]
A Sunny Spring Walk

No, it truly is not spring yet in upstate New York. Mother Nature, as usual, is being a tease and the weather has seemed almost springlike. Yesterday, I walked down Edson Road so that my round trip was 3.2 miles. I took over 50 pictures as I was taking the new camera for a walk. [...]

No, I do not mean date line. I mean I had a sort of, kind of, impromptu date on Friday night. I know. None of those terms – sort of, kind of or impromptu – are generally used when describing a date. So here goes. Friday I worked hard in the morning after deciding that [...]

When I was in Ithaca this past Friday night, I went to several art shows. One that I truly loved was the exhibit of Dee Sprague’s work at The Kitschen Sink. I first found The Kitschen Sink on The Greater Ithaca Art Trail last October. It was one of the four studios/galleries I managed to [...]
The Beauty in The Day

I am absolutely amazed as I head out the doors these days that a week ago my area had a dump of two feet of snow and now I can see the driveway down to the dirt and the lawn in areas. In a salute to the resilience of nature and of those of us [...]
Can You Hold Still?

I have always been a mover. I sit in church but my leg is bouncing or I am tapping my foot with the music. I sit at the computer to work and I move this way or that as I do my work. Even in the car, a passing driver is likely to see me [...]
