Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's day two of my stacation. We had a great time yesterday taking the Hudson River Cruise out of Kingston on the Rip Van Winkle
http://www.hudsonrivercruises.com/. We had lunch at Rosita's
http://www.rositasonline.com/ and after the cruise, we went over to the Mariner's Harbor for a couple of cold ones and some fresh seafood from the raw bar
http://www.marinersharborny.com/mariners/. Finished off the evening with an 03' Opus X Petitte Lancero which was smooth as silk. It was good to see the Yankees beat the Indians 8 - 0 and the two teams will play one more this evening at 1905(7:05pm) again. Today, I'm planning on driving down to Barrister Cigars in Union, NJ for a fund raiser to benefit The Steve Faccenda Children’s Education Fund. Here is a cut and paste from an email I received yesterday:
Meet Tim Ozgener at The Barrister
Join CAO President Tim Ozgener for a very special evening at The Barrister tomorrow, July 29. Tim will be in-store from 4-10 pm as CAO partners up with The Barrister to raise funds to benefit The Steve Faccenda Children’s Education Fund.
Steve Faccenda, a regional sales manager, was a beloved member of our CAO family for over four years and was known and loved throughout the cigar world. Steve recently lost his hard-fought battle with cancer, passing away on May 29, in Dover, New Jersey. Steve is survived by his wife, Deborah Gifoli, and their three children, Steven Jr., Tim, and Taryn.
In return for a $40 charitable donation, you will receive a CAO 3-pack containing a CAO La Traviata, CAO LX2, and CAO Vision, along with a CAO Cutter and matches. There will also be raffle prizes throughout the evening. Come out, meet Tim, and help support a worthwhile cause.

I hope everyone has a great day and hopefully I see a few of the local S/BOTL from the area there.......
