Tuesday, May 10, 2016How to Spend a Day in Glens Falls
The great thing about Glens Falls is everything is within walking distance! Park your car at one of the many free parking areas, ride your bike in using the well maintained Feeder Canal trail, or in the summer you can pick up the Trolley and it will bring you to Downtown Glens Falls. And then it is up to you! What sort of day are you interested in?

The week is slowly approaching. I’m talking about April break! For the majority of the school districts, this is happening from April 25th the 29th.

Have you ever had a staycation? A staycation can be an overnight stay in a place nearby, or even just a day trip or activity. We have so many options in this area so I

I had a chance on Friday to visit with Aaron MacLeod, director of Hartwick College’s Center for Craft Food and Beverage in Oneonta. A friend of mine who’s trying to start a brewery downstate set up the meeting, at which MacLeod schooled a bunch of longtime homebrewers in the ways of brewing science. Well, just the basics; we only had a couple of hours of his time.

Feel like you are spending too much time indoors? Get up and out…bears hibernate, humans don’t need to! It is all too common. The light changes, our sleep cycle is altered, we tend to stay indoors more, eat more, sleep more and cook and bake far too much! According to the National Sleep Association, our bodies tend to produce more melatonin during the winter months and it is activated during the dark. With sunrise at 7:15 and sunset at 4:15, we all suffer from some form of change during the winter

For many of us, this time of year brings the challenge – and promise – of New Year’s resolutions; a blank slate on which we can paint 2016 as the year we do something more, or less, or start or stop. I have yet to commit to my 2016 resolutions (apparently, one should be to procrastinate less) and I’m sure many are in the same boat as me. But how do we make them stick? How do we make what we promise in January be the same thing we’re fulfilling in July and can check off our list in December? Research

It’s that time of the year, where we curl up with our loved ones in a blanket and take the time to enjoy our favorite holiday movies. Some of us reach for the classics and others like the newer releases. I asked a few of our local community members what their favorite holiday movies are and received a variety of answers.

I love to give gifts. I take pride in finding the perfect gift for someone. But, if you are like me, you also have a few people on your list that tend to stump you! Maybe they just don’t “want” anything, or they are the type of person who just buys themselves whatever they would like. Well, I have the perfect last minute idea for you: Gift Back!

When do you start your Holiday shopping? Many eager consumers begin right after the previous Christmas and Hanukah Holiday season, taking advantage of the clearance deals and trying to fulfill their resolution to be prepared earlier for the next year. For those who wait for the more traditional time – the day following Thanksgiving - there are several options. Black Friday begins the rush to find the right gifts at the right price for the loved ones on your list. For me, my shopping season begins on
