My dear wife Karen has been taking her latest traveling central sterile technician gig over to the east, at Ellis Hospital in Schenectady.
It’s a two-hour drive to the east down the New York State Thruway.
Not too bad for cherished rescue mutt Ellie B and I.
The house in which my dear wife found a top-floor apartment for her weekday stays is pretty cool looking.
This Ellie B decided after a careful investigation of the grounds, of course.

Back in the 70s I lived in Schenectady for a bit and took in the history there. Walk around The Stockade and you will love the homes and churches. Also, visit the Vale Cemetery, a resting place for many famous. And you gotta try Morrette’s steak sandwich.
