Okay, so I love my town. I get up in the morning peruse the real estate dailies, drink a cup of joe and make some music.

The cool fall air inspires as the leaves start to change and I teach a youngster the way of the trumpet. In the afternoon, I escort my clients through the streets of High Falls, Stone Ridge and Rosendale as we make our way to New Paltz and end our journey at the local Starbucks. Yeah, not the most hippy dippy thing I do, but hey there is only one and I occassionally need a strong fix.

It's almost time to pick my daughter up from school and then off to soccer practice. My shins hurt for her...but bruises are healed by the taste of sushi as we relax surrounded by the infamous stone houses.

You will come to love Stone Ridge too...stop by and give it a try!
