Three and a Half Hours: Kinderhook
Inspired by a recent New York Times article, “36 Hours: Barcelona”, I decided to write about this past weekend’s experience and the (approximately) three and a half hours I spent in Kinderhook.

The Best Gelato – Trust Me!
You’re on a “date” in Hudson – maybe it’s a first/second date. Maybe you’re married, and it’s date night. You turn to your partner and say, “Let’s get some gelato!” Both of you get in the car, and you drive down 3rd Street, onto 9G, outside the City of Hudson, and your partner looks at…

A Midsummer Night’s Supreme Dream
Happy Pride! Every now and then, someone asks me for my preferred pronoun or they ask if they should refer to me as “Trixie” or “Rich”. Honestly, I don’t care. Whatever works.
