Bbbbbrrrrrrrr!

It's a shivery Saturday morning! Not quite 44 degrees at 6 o'clock this morning. But Weather Underground gives us a mostly sunny Smiley-face and forecasts a great day!



Friends camping on Adirondack Lakes will want something warmer to wear than shorts and T-shirts when they take their coffee out to the shore to watch for loons in the morning mist!

And, by 8:00, physical therapist Tim Francisco, his brother and a friend will have set out from the ADK parkinglot east of Lake Placid and be on the trail leading to Algonquin and, hopefully, making the ascent to the 5,114' summit - second highest of the Adirondack Mountains - before it gets too warm. Their day's hike will also bag Iroquois and Wright peaks - a good little day-scoot, for sure!

Baseball fans feel the temperature rising: with the Redsox taking the first game in their series with Baltimore 9-2 and the Yankees dropping their opener against the Angels 4 - 7, all eyes and ears will be on the Fenway on Friday afternoon when the five game series between the home team and the NYY starts at 1:05 p.m. Of course, alot can happen between now and then!



To be continued.
