Yesterday was the annual walk for the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition in Rhode Island at Roger Williams Park. It was a beautiful day with temperatures in the 60's for this year's walk. I was the team leader for Fancy Scrubs.com's team for the 3rd year in a row. I was surprised not to see the pumpkins out yet like they were last year. Each year the charity seems to grow for ovarian cancer which is a lesser known cancer than breast cancer. Throughout the walk there were signs of symptoms to look for as it can be a silent killer.



Have you known anyone with ovarian cancer? 
Isn't it a beautiful park for a 3 mile walk?

The Calm Before The Storm

Where will these leaves end up after #Sandy?

#Sandy's forecast
Today's forecast
The storm has strengthened overnight and the barometric pressure may rival that of the Hurricane of 1938! 

I have heard stories for years from my grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles about the 1938 hurricane. Perhaps that's why I'm a weather hound today.

I love Twitter and been following #Sandy and #SandyRI for the latest updates. It is the quickest way to get info.



I hope everyone stays safe during this big storm!

It was a beautiful crisp day for the Annual Breast Cancer Walk at Roger Williams Park in Providence. Thousands showed up. The trees were more colorful than last month at the Ovarian Cancer walk. My friends and I did not attend last year's Breast Cancer walk as it snowed. Today's forecast shows a possible storm (hurricane) that could hit the area or just stay out to sea. Stay tuned!
