Fall Foliage Leaf Peeping On The Way
As we count down the remaining Frog Days of Summer, we can look forward to autumn colors. Even many of the snowbirds who go to Florida for the winter come back up to central New York for fall foliage viewing.

There are a few more Frog Days of Summer events that we can enjoy, and tonight it's Saranac Thursday. Many of you attend these gatherings each week, and perhaps you haven't been to one yet.
Now that we are well into September, and the Frog Days of Summer are starting to fade into the rear view mirror, it's time to start thinking about indoor activities. When I was a kid, lots of families had a ping pong table in the basement. I remember at our house, we just had a net and paddles, and we attached the net to the kitchen table and started playing (not a good idea until after the supper dishes were cleared).
You know that the Frog Days of Summer are nearing an end when the NFL Football season begins. The regular season starts this week with a Thursday night game between Green Bay and New Orleans Saints. My team (and maybe yours) for over 30 years has been the Buffalo Bills.
As we wind down the Frog Days of Summer, September is winding up with a number of events. You may not know it but September is National Grandparents Month. Those of you who are fortunate enough to have your grandparents (or event a great-grandparent or two) still with you, that's great!
The Frog Days of Summer aren't over yet, but the kids will be going back to school this week. I remember when I was a kid, it seemed like once school started, the temperature rose to 85 degrees, which was exactly the same as the classroom thermostat setting. When our kids were small, I remember the first day back to school - taking pictures of the little ones getting on the school bus.
The Frog Days of Summer have been filled with outdoor activity, and now that September is here, we find other things to do inside. It's that time of year when many bowling leagues begin, and many of you enjoy that participation sport week after week after week.
Another great country act to appear at Chevy Court at the Great New York State Fair in Syracuse during the Frog Days of Summer. Steel Magnolia performs live at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Can you believe it's September already? It's still the Frog Days of Summer for a few more weeks, and we have a few more great outdoor events. In particular, Saranac Thursday rolls on tonight at the F.X. Matt Brewery, at the corner of Varick and Court Streets in Utica.
The Frog Days of Summer keep rolling on, and sometimes we kick back and take things a little easier. However, we still have deep thoughts to ponder. Each day, at the end of my noontime request hour "Greg's Grill", I offer up some food for thought in the form of a thought for the day.
As the Frog Days of Summer wind down, football starts up. I look forward to watching college and NFL football, and many of you enjoy playing it. Whether you play for a school or just like to strike up a game of touch football, technique is everything.
Even though the Frog Days of Summer are winding down, those of us TV viewers can look forward to the new fall schedule of shows. I remember when I was a kid, I always got excited about the new fall lineup; buying the Fall Preview edition of TV Guide and watching all the network promos for the new shows.
