The Point Resort

The Point Resort is a beautiful and remote lodge located in upstate New York.  With just 11 guestrooms available (every one with a lakefront view), this resort makes for a perfect intimate and secluded romantic vacation away from the big city.  In addition to an abundance of peace and quiet, there is plenty to do at The Point.  Head out onto the lake and swim, water ski, fish or just cruise around in a boat.  Hike the splendid surrounding landscape.  Or come in winter and take in some cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and ice skating

Providence, RI

Four hours away from the bustling metropolis of New York City is the large yet somewhat calmer city of Providence.  For couples wanting to dial it down a notch but not willing to give up all that the city has to offer, this is a great destination.  Head to Providence and explore the gardens, tour the museums and art galleries, take in some top-notch dining and check out the many historic sites.  When night falls, see what the city’s nightlife has to offer or, if you happen to be there from May

Atlantic City, New Jersey

Just a couple of hours south of New York City, up on the coast of New Jersey, is Atlantic City.  For couples that want a bright and flashy experience but don’t want to travel all the way to Las Vegas, this is the place to be.  With its many casinos and active night life, there’s always something to do here.  You can just walk the city, enjoying the shopping, the fine restaurants and looking for a good nightclub to go dancing at.  Or stroll along the beach and the boardwalk, stopping off to see

Zduriencik and Wedge

 

.

Q.  Again:  what's the effect on Zduriencik?

A.  Geoff Baker laid all this out very well, a month ago, what the year extension means.  It means very little.  They'll write it off, if and when they feel like it, but they don't want the organization feeling unstable.

The ownership committee is evidently going to evaluate Zduriencik this winter.  

.

Q.  Maybe Chris Larson and Howard Lincoln haven't noticed that Zduriencik would be on his third manager?

A.  They're smart guys.  They absolutely will not be fooled into thinking, "Hey, maybe this was Wedge's fault."  Nope.  If there was one thing we'd like to give to the outside commentator, it would be a greater respect for the sheer brilliance of the typical rich corporate executive in America.  He's not dumber than you and I are.  He's smarter.

But what it would do, if they were already inclined to keep Zduriencik, is it would give them an excuse to give him One Last Chance.

.

Q.  Would it be tough to get a decent replacement?  Gordon doesn't want a rookie like Wakamatsu, signing on for a brief trial.  Can you get Joe Girardi, if Zduriencik is lame-duck?

The Emerson in the Catskills

Four couples that wish to enjoy nature but don’t want to wander too far from civilization, consider a trip to The Emerson, a great inn and lodge in the Catskill Mountains.  Just under three hours away from New York City, this can be a great romantic weekend.  Spend some time relaxing in the spa and enjoying the inn, or head out into nature.  There are plenty of places to hike, bike, fish or ride horseback.  In the winter, check out the great skiing locations.  Take a tour on the Catskill Mountain Railroad and just enjoy

Muggles, rejoice: A 'Harry Potter' spin-off movie series is happening

I've got to hand it to J.K. Rowling: The woman knows how to drop a bombshell. On September 12, 2013, muggles far and wide were positively stunned when Rowling and Warner Bros. announced a movie franchise based on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Wait, what?! Yes, that's correct: Rowling is going to adapt the fictitious Hogwarts textbook for the big screen.

Kate’s Lazy Desert Airstream Motel, Landers

For more adventurous couples that prefer uniqueness over luxury, there’s a great place just over two hours east of Los Angeles known as Kate’s Lazy Desert Airstream Motel.  The west coast equivalent of their New York location, this place was put together by one of the members of the B-52s and it definitely shows.  The property consists of six airstream trailers, all decorated in crazy style and situated in the middle of the desert.  No luxuries here, just a trailer and a barrel to burn wood in to

Mohonk Mountain House, New Paltz

Just about ninety minutes north of New York City is the Mohonk Mountain House, a testament to grand and beautiful architecture.  This remarkable resort building dates back to 1869 and has only grown greater over the years.  Not only does the resort have its own private lake, but there is plenty to do.  Couples can hike, golf or go mountain biking.  Take a swim in the lake or jump on a boat.  When winter comes, enjoy ice skating and cross-country skiing.  If you feel like relaxing, settle back into the spa, the outdoor heated mineral pool or
