What are you listening to these days (music, podcast or audio book)?
When I take my son for walks, I usually will listen to a few podcasts. My latest favorites are “This American Life” and “The Moth.” When I drive, I’ve been listening to “The Death and Life of Great American Cities” by Jane Jacobs.
Reading?
Recently, when I do get a few minutes to read, I have been choosing pieces on the history of the 46ers, which is a group individuals dedicated to ascending all of the Adirondack High Peaks. I also love memoirs.
Watching on TV?
I’ve been catching up on old SNL episodes, and I am a little ashamed to admit that I have a crush on Chris Cuomo from 20/20.
What was the last movie you saw and why?
I honestly don’t remember. It’s been a while.
One person living or dead you would like to meet and why?
I’d like to talk to one of my great-grandparents. I never had the chance to meet any of them.
Describe your dream vacation.
Either a trip to Iceland or a road trip through the American West.
What is your favorite hobby?
Photography! I’m also a freelance writer. I currently write “New Mom Notes” for Capital District Parent Pages.
Describe what your last meal would be?
Seafood and pasta.
Favorite local memory?
The very first time I saw Omi, an outdoor sculpture park in Ghent.
What three things would you bring with you to a desert island?
Survival equipment, and a boat so I could leave! I’m extroverted, I’d be sick of myself within hours.
