What makes the world a better place? Fresh bread. Everything about it. The smell, the feel, the taste. Nothing more simple but as deeply satisfying as a loaf of warm bread.

There are few things in this world that are as essential, and as satisfying, as a good bakery.

A week from today the season could be over or the Yanks could be getting ready to play in another Whirled Serious.

We’re lucky to even have another week to look forward to, and starting tomorrow night, Cliff Lee vs. Andy Pettitte…it should be lively.

In the meantime, enjoy a lovely, cool fall day in New York. Those of us with Cablevision are shut-out of the first game, but the Jets are on at 4.

Let’s Go Sun-Day.
