You know that Saturday where you've got nothing lined up, you scroll for twenty minutes hoping something jumps out, and you end up at the same place you always go?

I write the Finger Lakes Effect for that Saturday.

One email a week. I do the digging, you get the short list: what's happening around the lakes, what's worth trying, and whatever I found interesting out there. Free to read.
