Although commenting on the weather is this column's part-time vocation, there's little editorializing needed today: the weather is amazing, so read this quickly then get out there and enjoy your weekend!
- Being uncoordinated, this reporter was never a fan of the Hokey Pokey until THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE did it last week over the Hudson River, putting their collective right foot into history. Bravo to the organizers!
- Upstater profiles the Shanley in Napanoch; this reporter's hair immediately stands on end.
- The Hudson River Sloop Clearwater is setting sail on the 30th for a farm-to-[seafaring] table event including songs, sunsets, chardonnay and local fare from a crop of big name local chefs.

Then Cairo's 1920s festival is for you. Don your best cloche hat or bowler and practice your 20s lingo. (Here's a fun cheat sheet, including 20 ways to describe drunkenness.)
- Living social deal for Greene County: Water parks! Irish Alps!
- Did you just graduate? Are you graduating later? Did you go/are you going to the graduation of someone you love? Am I using the word graduate too often? Anyway, the WP WANTS YOUR GRADUATION PHOTOS. Send 'em to us here, or post them on our Facebook wall.
Looking ahead, we've got a busy weekend coming up; check out the calendar for things to do!
