A Whrrly Weekend at Lake George

Last weekend wasn’t really meant to be a getaway, just an excuse to get my ride to a service center that wouldn’t rip me off, then take a short trip to Lake George in the Adirondacks for the weekend rather than jet 200 miles back home. One thing I’ve learned from this trip: don’t go…

Going another way

Statue at Red Lion Inn

Finally wrapping up a whirlwind of a weekend before heading back home tomorrow. To recap, I traveled to the Berkshires to spend a night in Stockbridge at the Red Lion Inn, and then stayed at a roadside motel in Barrington for the last two nights and using that as a launchpad to return to Stockbridge…

Losing My Head at Sleepy Hollow

Under Construction

So yesterday I took a trip to Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown for the day. Why you ask? Because I just like to do stupid, random crap for no particular reason at all. Plus I hear the babes like that sort of thing, so consider this my way of practicing. My first stop was at a…

Where to next? Ideas for a Christmas adventure?

Clark Griswold - Christmas

I spent the night at Ticonderoga (home of Fort Ticonderoga) before deciding to head out to Lake Placid the next day. Vermont was gorgeous, but I couldn’t decide on any place to stay, so I went for the familiar and hopped back over to NY for the remainder of my trip. I got up, feeling…

How The Harvest Moon Almost Killed Me

Montauk - The End

So Sunday I crossed the entire breadth of Long Island under the reasonable assumption that if I just drove out east far enough, I would find a completely unobstructed view of the horizon for the harvest moon, as well as get some nice snapshots of the scenery. Under that logic I decided to drive, and…

Looking for my Funkytown

So now that we’ve elected a mini-me version of the Antichrist, I think it’s high time I finally start working to move to a town that’s right for me. A town that’ll keep me movin’ and keep me groovin’ with some energy. Even though I talk about it, talk about it, talk about it, talk…
