Last time the A_nderson media sweep was here it was the back of my head featured in the news. Today it’s my Dad’s turn. The A_nderson noggin is impossible to mistake. Today my Dad can be spotted in the lower right-hand corner of the front page of the Saratogian. I’ve scanned a portion of the […]

We’ve seen some record heat this week, with temperatures here in the Capital Region soaring to 96 degrees yesterday and the heat index — once you add the humidity — making it feel like 108 degrees. I caught the treemometer displaying about 92 degrees yesterday afternoon (keep in mind it’s on a tree that’s mostly […]

One part of our banner four-day party weekend during which we had all sorts of crazy times (later blog post) was seeing Sen. Hillary Clinton at the Saratoga Race Course Saturday. The first time I saw her in person was when she was First Lady Hillary in 1995 when she came to Vassar to give […]
