A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Shadi asked about how to get rid of a Christmas tree.
+ There's a gym in Albany where they'd all be drinking the Kool-Aid -- if cavemen had drunk Kool-Aid.
+ The thing about the weathervane atop Albany Academy? It's a fish story.
+ The NYS Writers Institute has lined up quite a slate for this upcoming season.
+ It's winter whether you like it or not -- you might as well be polite about it.
+ Looking for a wild place? Try the Lisha Kill Natural Area.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: thumbs down for the Dino, the Food and Wine Festival, a deity at Cafe Capriccio, a mac 'n cheese burger, pho, pastries, weather-related amnesia, gastroenterologists, dog boots, eagles, sledding and a sad scene.
+ Here are a few simple guidelines for how to behave (or not behave) at a roller derby bout.
+ Speaking of roller derby -- we asked people how much snow they got as part of our Hellions ticket giveaway.
+ Yes, it do snow -- a bit more than expected.
+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: suggestive cuke handling, a guy who's about to go cuckoo for Coco Puffs, and a piece of Three Rivers Stadium.
+ The Hall of Governors at the state Capitol: a fascinating journey through the history of facial hair.
+ We talked with a guy who's creating works of art with his iPhone.
+ There was a 1980s sighting.
+ Be careful of going to Europe -- you never know what the state is going to build while you're gone.
+ And say hello to Akum and Liz, AOA's new associate editors.

Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
