    My wife and I brought our Chinese exchange friend here for the view of Albany. We were the only…read moreones up there for much of the time, and it was quiet and peaceful. While it was a gloomy February day, the views were still pretty good. Since I am familiar with the area, it was fun to look around and spot areas I know from the higher vantage point. For those who don't know Albany, they had nice picture boards pointing out the major sites in the area. However, since they were only in English (and not Chinese) they were of limited value to our friend. We did our best to help her out. One downside is that to gain access from the indoor concourse level you either need to take an elevator to the plaza level, or take an escalator. Because we had a baby stroller they helped us with the first elevator ride up. On the way down, though, they not only acknowledged that we had a stroller but instead asked us to "deal with the escalator." I believe they were short-staffed at the desk, but this was really annoying. Thankfully, a we made it down without incident (or lawsuit). At least it is free.

    Now that you are in New York's capital, why not see it from the tallest building in the city. Best…read moreof all it's FREE to go to the 42nd floor observatory. If you come here on a sunny day, you can really see a lot of Albany and it's surroundings. I personally love viewing the Empire State Plaza from above. Go to the other side of the observation deck and you can see the governor's mansion. This is a GREAT place to take out of town visitors since there isn't a TON to do in Albany. Two things to keep in mind: 1. Hours are limited, at my time of visit it was only open M-F, 10-4. Kind of a bummer that this isn't open on the weekends, I think it used to be, but it has to do with state funding. 2. If the weather outside is horrible and cloudy you won't be able to see much. If you are visiting Albany, I'd also suggest a quick visit to the free state museum where you can also ride the carousel. Stroll up to Lark Street for a meal or beverage too! If it's nice out wander through Washington Park.

    Regulatory Reform Governors Office of…read more The Governor's Office of Regulatory Reform (GORR) improves the State's regulatory process by assisting State agencies in the development of regulations that are supposed to be well conceived, understandable, and based upon adequate input from the parties affected. We the people, business owners and on and on, are the "parties ". I had a hard time rating this government business. They're busy keeping up with the current situations but there's a lot of old regulations that need review. Either clean up the regs or do away with the archaic garbage that's on the record. Let's face it, from the time you take a breath, until the day you take your last breath, there's a regulation involved. They regulate the air cleanliness and the burial process. Now we have the Covid process! I'm sure we will have mixed feelings about the new vaccine and/or test verification system. I remember in 1968 when I went to Europe for the first time I carried a health card I had to get from my local health department. It had proof I had the required inoculations necessary to travel abroad. I'm telling you this so you know, this is nothing new we are facing. I'm glad my state is taking a huge step forward in the process. I've downloaded the app. After my second vaccine I will go to the website to obtain my QR Code. (If you're not familiar with the Q. R. Code read my DENSO review.) You enter the code into the app on your phone and you're good to go! I'm looking forward to attending a ball game first thing as it is outdoors. Maybe eventually I'll be comfortable with returning to the theater or a indoor arena for sports or concerts. Regulations are a part of life and I'm all for being prepared! I hope to have a little more living to do! How about you?

Alvin Loving's New Morning I serves up a 55-foot assortment of parallelograms, dramatic enough to be a marquee attraction in an actual museum. The food court looks amazing (I already reviewed the stellar Umana Yana) but the hours of operation are grim; it's a just a Monday-Friday lunch place.
