No, there are no Yankees fans:
Hi — are there no Yankees fans out there? I'm from Connecticut and we are not happy campers now that the Yanks have been eliminated. Plus, there's always so much drama. What's going to happen to Joe Torre? To A-Rod? However, I will say this, now that the Yankees are not in the playoffs, I will be rooting for the Red Sox. After all, it's a “territorial” thing and as a New Englander, who else can I get excited about? Cindy Starks

*** Monterey:
Hi, Ned.
I was visiting the Monterey Peninsula last year with my wife (we
celebrated our 50th birthdays). It's a great area. We liked the town
and the aquarium. Are you a golfer? We enjoyed Pebble Beach and
Spyglass…but for a lot less money, might I also suggest a very decent public course nearby, called Pacific Grove? Lots of great ocean views…for a tenth of the green's fees of the other two.
Have a swell time.
