Everyone’s writing about it. And all the dogs are doing it. Every Thursday this summer, Broadway shop Sloppy Kisses is hosting Yappy Hour at The Inn at Saratoga, a bit further south down Broadway. The event started June 21, but last night was our first time going, and Happy Dingo McGee made his debut, along […]

This morning I awoke to a house without coffee (the horror!). So before I did just about anything else — aside from gathering up my collection of 12 “1 free small cup of coffee” cards (good in exchange for a free pound) and a handful of change ($2 worth for half a dozen day-old bagels) […]

Since The Saratogian never seems to publish any letters that contain any ounce of criticism, I will publish my latest letter here. I sent this letter on April 23. Today is May 1 and it’s still yet to be published. At this point, I doubt it will. Dear Editor, Thank you for publishing the great […]

Last week I was walking the dogs — it was the 18th or 19th, as I recall — and something significant happened: The chill in the air was gone. Just like that. After a long winter that got a late start — our first big snow storm wasn’t until Valentine’s Day, followed by another on […]
