Hudson. Hudson. Hudson.
I think I keep sane(ish) is by getting out of town once in a while. I run around a small city in upstate New York in a wig and a dress baking cookies and writing a blog while serving on the City Council. However, I think I’m one of the saner individuals (toot my own horn) in our Friendly City. Because there’s much more crazy out there.
Anyway, here’s a post:
