This Berkshire Hike In Massachusetts Leads To A Hidden Gem
I normally workout at the gym when I get off the air in the morning but since I had a little time to kill during my travels last Spring, I figured why not go for a walk on the newly paved bike path that runs from Crane Avenue all the way to the Berkshire House of Corrections entrance. Along the way, I spotted this interesting gem that I never thought I'd see on a bike path.

REVIEW: Barrington Stage's 'Boeing Boeing' offers a flight you won't want to miss
Croissants, crepes, wine and a good farce have carried the French in good stead over the centuries. Even a mediocre French farce, when well directed and superbly acted will make up for a myriad of flaws in the script. Such is the case with Barrington Stage's production of “Boeing Boeing.” Written by playwright Marc Camoletti in 1960 and translated into English in 1962 by Beverly Cross is a funny, dated show about a rogue, Bernard, living in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower who is engaged to three women. He juggles his menagerie of ladies who all happen to be airline stewardesses all with different airlines based upon their flight schedules in and out of Paris. All is fine until it isn't and hilarity ensues.
