...season progressed from that BLOHARDS session to weeks of monitoring the maneuverings around the Hot Stove. If you to ask me, things didn't go so well for our side. We didn't get Pavano, we didn't get Radke, we didn't get Hudson. We let Derek depart without so much as a fare-thee-well, and lost Martinez to the Mets-which mightn't have been such a bad thing, no matter how he performs in Queens.

In one sequence Charlie and Fred take a walk past the "Call" building (now Central Tower), through...

"Snow is also a great reflector of light, so once we have the candles dotted around and the stove cooking the evening meal, it's not nearly as bad as one might expect," says a guide. And the reward for roughing it is the best wake-up call in Scotland: in the pristine winter air, from some of Britain's highest ground, there are panoramic views stretching 150 kilometers or more. The next snowy trek takes place March 12-14 and is priced at $508, including...
