Thank you to all my loyal fans who have continually asked me about my blog. I know I have been neglecting this baby for awhile. My job as Managing Editor of the Ballston Journal keeps this girl rather busy.
Anyway……..Happy New Year to all.
My new year is getting off to a rather good start. Last night, I once again participated in the First Night 5K run up at Skidmore. Weather and conditions were excellent this year. In spite of being pitifully out of shape compared to last year and 20 lbs heavier this year (my new job is making me fat) I finished in 43 minutes and 16 seconds. Yes, I know I am out of practice. I am trying to get back in the habit of running every day like I used to.
Today I went to the City Center here in Saratoga for the swearing in ceremony of our elected officials. I was personally invited by Ken Ivins and Joanne Yepsen. I am glad I went as I saw a lot of people I haven’t seen in awhile.
It was good to see Michelle Boxley, John Franck’s deputy, and also Catholic Priest Neil Draves Arpeia who has known me all my life.
I am happy for the new Public Safety Commissioner Richard Wirth and I am interested in seeing how he will do and what he will bring the city of Saratoga.
The next town meeting will be Tuesday night. If I am able to go, I know I will see the usual suspects.
