Kiss Off March 2013

Kiss Off March 2013

I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but I do feel a responsibility to those people who read (and write for) NNY Life to explain my recent lull in postings. To put it bluntly, NNY “spring” sucks. This time of year, I always struggle. I know I’m not alone. No matter how… Continue Reading

  Will wonders never cease? I love this upside-down NNY Winter/Spring season. As long as it doesn’t mess with my summer. TweetFacebookLinkedInTumblrStumbleDiggDelicious… Continue Reading

Word of Mouth: Becky

Word of Mouth: Becky

Hunk admiring the fish in a large seawater tank at the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester. We visited there on Spring Break on Becky’s advice. Because Watertown and Fort Drum can be such a tough place to get to know, I thought I’d leave it to my amazing friends – local, military, young, and… Continue Reading

Don’t wait too long or before you know it, summer will be… Continue Reading

The Black River Trail

The Black River Trail

Now that the weather is FINALLY starting to warm up (it HAS! Remember the subzeros of January?), it’s time to start finding ways to get outside whenever possible. It’ll be hit or miss for awhile since snow is always possible until May. (Yes. May.) Two years ago I invested in a very fancy, much-loved stroller… Continue Reading

Another Spring-ish Post

Another Spring-ish Post

I am surrounded by speculation that spring is thisclose! Not long now! Just around the corner! It depends on whether you consider an entire city street block the size of the corner in question. Seriously, don’t pack your picnic yet. Unless you are packing a tent to pitch over the top of your checkered blanket,… Continue Reading

Congenital Spring Fever

Congenital Spring Fever

Our Gurney’s spring seed catalog arrived a couple of weeks ago. At first I was okay. I mean, there’s always a little thrill when it arrives in the mailbox between our Entertainment Weekly Oscars edition and the cable bill. But even after I sat down and looked through its brightly-lit photos of golfball-sized strawberries and… Continue Reading
