Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Friday, April 3rd. You'll be interested
to know. Today is Good Friday. Good Friday commemorates
the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, inviting quiet
reflection, communal worship, and remembrance
of sacrifice that shapes Christian faith and
practice. So now you know. And now, it's time
for the weather report. This morning, there's
patchy fog, and it feels like 36 degrees with
4 mph wind. The sunset will take place at 7 .11,
and it will rise again tomorrow at 6 .18. It
looks like we're in for a foggy morning with
a slight chance of rain showers before 10 a .m.,
turning mostly cloudy with a high near 65. and
a moderate south wind, around 8 mph, gusting
up to 21. If you're inland, it will hit a high
of 65. Tonight, expect patchy fog after 1 a .m.,
partly cloudy skies, and a low around 48, with
a moderate southwest wind, around 8 mph, gusting
up to 21. The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay
reads 39 degrees for the water temperature. Looking
ahead in the weather. Saturday will be partly
sunny with a high near 61 and a north wind 5
to 12 miles per hour, gusting as high as 23.
A chance of evening rain showers and patchy fog
gives way to likely rain and thunderstorm Sunday
with a high near 64 and south winds 6 to 13 miles
per hour, gusting to 23. Then drier and cooler
Monday with mostly sunny skies and highs near
54. Bonjour, food enthusiasts. This podcast is
brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries
in Encinitas. Nestled on El Camino Real South,
just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe
is a haven for culinary delights. Indulge in
their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten -free

They are open every day from 8 to 5. So stop
on by and don't forget to tell them. Sunny mornings
send you. In local news, American Express is
set to open a lounge with a terrace at Logan
Airport in 2029. This new two -story lounge will
be located at Terminal C. and is described as
inspired by Boston's historic character and coastal
charm. The lounge will showcase local artwork
and design elements that highlight the city's
green spaces, harbor vistas, and academic legacy.
Signature amenities will include premium food
and beverage options, seating, complimentary
high -speed Wi -Fi, and dedicated workstations.
Massport has approved a budget of up to $75 million
for the lounge's shell, while American Express
will invest $391 million, including an annual
rent of $10 million. Now on to sports. Kirk Cousins
has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, which
makes perfect sense for the team as a mentor
for Fernando Mendoza. The Raiders have added
the veteran quarterback, according to his agent,
Mike McCartney, just days after speculation about
his future arose during the NFL owners' meetings.
Cousins was released by the Atlanta Falcons,
who are moving forward with Michael Pennix Jr.
and Tua Tagovailova. At 37 years old, Cousins
brings nearly 45 ,000 career passing yards, 298...
touchdown passes, and four Pro Bowl selections.
This signing aligns with the Raiders' new head
coach, Clint Kubiak, and their number one pick
in the 2026 NFL Draft. In local sports, the Bees
fell to the Panthers 2 -1 on Thursday night in
Sunrise, Florida, ending their playoff hopes.
Despite a strong effort, with Fraser Minton scoring
a late first -period goal, The Bruins couldn't
overcome a quick start from the Panthers, who
got goals from Maki Samoskevic and Sam Bennett
in the first. Jeremy Swayman made 22 saves in
the loss, while Panthers goaltender Sergi Bobrovsky
turned aside 28 shots overall. Next up, the Bruins
will face the Lightning on Saturday, while the
Panthers head to Pittsburgh on the same day.
And this afternoon at Fenway Park... It's opening
day. The two and four Padres are in town to face
the one and five Red Sox at 210. Michael King
faces Sonny Gray. In top news, just how much
are 12 metric tons of stolen Kit Kat bars worth?
A lot of promotional gold, it turns out. Over
the weekend, Nestle confirmed that thieves had
swiped 413 ,793 units of Kit Kats somewhere along
their way from a factory in central Italy to
Poland. Though both the chocolate bars and the
truck remained missing, no one was hurt in the
theft. What the Swiss company lost in chocolate,
it gained back in public relations. Nestle stated,
we've always encouraged people to have a break
with Kit Kat. but it seems these have taken the
message too literally. In business news. Morning,
Amazon quietly changed this popular feature,
and now strangers can access your address. Here
is what to do about it. Amazon wish lists give
you control over what gifts friends, family,
and even strangers buy for you. However, using
them just got dangerous. When you are celebrating
events such as getting married, having a baby,
or graduating from college, people often shower
you with gifts. Enter the gift registry, which
guided more taste -challenged friends toward
gifts you want. Now, news reveals this popular
service changed a major privacy setting. In crypto
movement, Bitcoin is down 1 .5 % to just under
$67 ,000. Ethereum is down 1 % to $2 ,000. And
XRP is down 1 .5 % to $1 .32. Moving on to a
more local vibe. In our community spotlight on
health and wellness, we are working with a national
Pilates studio to bring you some free classes,
so listen up. Check out Club Pilates, with several
locations in the Boston area. Pilates presents
a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating
strength, reducing tension, and elevating mental
well -being. Scientific research affirms its
benefits. So now you can check out Club Pilates
for a free class. With locations in Canton, Wellesley,
Hingham, Brookline, and Framingham, just be sure
to tell them sunny morning sent you by. And now,
back to the show. Let's talk science. A scientist
may have just solved the mystery of the Great
Pyramid. Ancient Egyptians, despite lacking modern
technology, completed the megalith in a remarkably
swift manner. The construction methods of the
Great Pyramid have sparked extensive debate,
with theories suggesting ramps were used, although
no evidence of them has been found. One scientist
proposed that if ramps existed, they would have
been integrated into the pyramid and concealed.
In algorithm testing, this idea revealed that
a built -in ramp could have significantly reduced
construction time by facilitating easier ascent
and allowing multiple teams to position stone
blocks simultaneously. And in entertainment news,
J .J. Abrams is scaling down Bad Robot as he
moves to New York. The production company is
leaving Los Angeles after nearly three decades
of producing several hit films and television
shows, including Mission Impossible movies, Lost,
and Westworld. Bad Robot is reorganizing and
shutting down its Los Angeles office, following
the sale of its longtime Santa Monica headquarters
for $31 million in November and staff reductions
in recent years. Founded in 1999, the company
has been responsible for numerous hits, starting
with Alias in 2001 and adding Fringe, Person
of Interest, and Westworld. Well, alrighty folks,
it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
our quote comes from the American author and
motivational speaker, Dale Carnegie. And he said,
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is
wanting what you get. And that's a wrap for this
morning. You can check out our Instagram, YouTube,
and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
with local news and the weather reports. Have
an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see you
tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings
in Boston.
