When you step into Virgil's you are treating yourself to an in-town vacation.
You are not encouraged but mandated to leave the technology of cell phones and laptops in the 'off' position, and do something for yourself that you never seem to find time to do - relax. It's an oasis in the bustling city and an antidote to our hectic lives.
Presiding over this kingdom is our Princess Kathleen. Her loyal subjects enjoy her unique Joie de vivre: a combination of Glinda the good one, Grace Kelly and just enough Barbara Eden from her "Jeanie" days to keep things vampy and zany.
Welcome to Kathleen's world:
My Hometown -
"QUEENSbury, NY (of course!). I've been a Resident of the area for 11 years."
What do you do at Virgil's?
"I cook, clean and create. And I rock at putting lids on coffee cups. You might even say I'm an expert."
Do you have regular days/ hours?
"M-F 6:30 a.m. - 9 p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m. - 9 p.m.; Sunday 7 a.m. - 6 p.m."
Any other jobs?
"I'm a fitness instructor at Malta Home and Fitness, and I own a bed & breakfast - the Appletree at 49 W. High St. in Ballston Spa."
So, no time for hobbies?
"Au contraire, for me its crossword puzzles, creating new business ventures, and cleaning."
Last Vacation:
"Boynton Beach, Florida at my sister's house."
A great date is...
"...dressing up for drinks and dinner - having flirty, sexy fun. Then walking home through town - slowly. Oh, with Jim, of course!"
A perfect day is...
"Unplanned. Lying in bed till late morning, watching "old" TV shows or movies, laughing, shopping, driving around, or just sitting on the porch."
Places in town I like to go to after work...
"My porch, Jim's porch or the Wine Bar."
Favorite cocktail (to make or drink):
"A Grey Goose martini with 1/4 teaspoon of sugar and fresh lime."
Customer from hell/goofy customer story:
"I once had a customer ask one of my employees how we could allow children but not cell phones. Wow. That person needs some hugs!"
Most Embarrassing moment at work?
"I wear a tiara all day! What could possibly embarrass me?"
Last movie watched:
"The Replacements"
Favorite TV Show:
"America's Funniest Home Videos: I love to laugh, I'm laughing now thinking about it. And football."
Favorite website:
"Craigslist"
In my iPod now:
"There's no iPod, but the song in my head now is the theme from Monday Night Football and the one that goes "...standing on the corner, watching all the girls..." weird! How'd that get in there?"
Favorite local musicians:
"John Bagnoli and Franklin Micare."
Favorite sports team:
"Dallas Cowboys."
Last Book / Magazine Read:
"Just finished 'Law of Attraction', now reading 'Egg on a Sill'. Specialty coffee magazine."
What even my best customers would be surprised to learn about me:
"I love to play video games from the 80's: Space Invaders, Galaga, Asteroids"
Your philosophy of life...
"Be mindful of your thoughts, they drive your reality. Cherish children and learn everything you can from them."
