For all of our readers around the world, we should let you know that it
might hit 40 degrees (Fahrenheit) today in the City of Boston. This is a critical milestone. The last time it was north of 40, Pawtucket had a AAA franchise—yes, that long ago! Today, dozens of Red Sox fans will be emerging from their icicle-festooned homes to peek skyward and hope to see a yellow orb. Or maybe hear a flock of geese honking their way home from Florida. Of course, it will plunge back into the teens tonight and tomorrow, but a heat wave like this is a welcome sign of Spring.
