Hi Everyone, Looks pretty dreary and damp this morning as I write this email.  But, according to the weather forecasters, tomorrow should bring a vast improvement with temperatures hitting a high around 62 at 5:00 pm. They are showing  sun with clouds all day J.  I’m good with that…a whole lot better than last week’s frigid temps and grey skies.  As usual, winter in Syracuse hates to let go to summer and last Tuesday was a great example.  I’ll purge that from my memory. OK, all of you ...Continue Reading
