Thursday - Garbage Day

It's 54 degrees and still DARK at 5:50 A.M.



Jazz-lovers will brighten up: it's John Liebing at Michael's, this evening from 7 - 10.

I don't know about the weather in Boston, but the mood is DARK: the Sox lost badly - 0-11 - in last night's game against Tampa Bay. They'll be in Baltimore over the weekend. In New York, however, everything's SUNNY and BRIGHT!



Check the New York Yankees website for more reasons why!


The WCS Boys Varsity Soccer team will meet Adirondack Central at 7:00 this evening at Brothertown Stadium and Varsity Football will play Hamilton Central at Hamilton on Friday at 7:00. Keep track of ALL WCS Sports at the "Sports Zone!"


The more culturally-inclined will be in the "stands" at the Stanley Theater in Utica, tomorrow night, cheering for The 5 Browns
Irresistible Champions of the Piano.



"Charming, articulate and brilliant, this youthful quintet of brothers and sisters, all virtuosic concert pianists, reawaken the lively tradition of multi-piano performances that flourished in the Romantic age. Each of the Browns – Desirae, Deondra, Gregory, Melody and Ryan – possesses a distinctive and discriminating keyboard talent, honed at New York’s Juilliard School. Through a variety of ensemble, duet, and solo pieces, including Flight of the Bumblebee and selections from West Side Story, The 5 Browns exhibit a musical understanding that verges on telepathy, while their elegant and expressive interpretations leave audiences worldwide 'whipped into a polite frenzy.' ”

More Down-to-Earth Matters continue to be questions the answers to which whould give us indications of future weather:

"Why are we not seeing 'woolly-bear' caterpillars of any brown/black combinations?"
"Aren't the deer turning dark early?"
"Have you noticed the huge number of pinecones on red cedars, this year? - Or all of the 'helicopters' on maple trees?"
