Another cell phone pic of Fabian’s waves. Apparently yesterday’s surf was REALLY big — but today’s was nothing to sneeze at.

We’re just now leaving Fire Island, Long Island’s barrier island, after watching the waves generated by Hurricane Fabian crash ashore. I’ll post some higher quality photos later, but here’s one from the cell phone (and a telephoto lens).

Get out your brooms, Boston fans. The Red Sox are heading back to Yankee Stadium tomorrow, looking for a sweep!

By the ninth inning, Red Sox fans owned the place!!!

Anyway, here are some of my pictures from the game:

A fine view of Yankee Stadium and the Yankee flag — and the flagpole blocking our view:
