My Three Girls !!!

Up Early for the View

Had to be up early but the view out the bathroom window made up for it.

Monday Morning

Bus Stop

Keeping my Carbon Imprint low, waiting on the bus coffee in hand. Still feeling great after the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup!

It's FRIDAY !!

Work, haircut, food.....and Beer are all on the menu tonight...Have a great weekend all!

Sun Goes Down and The Moon Comes Up

This was the full moon rising over Swampscott, Ma a couple weeks ago, the sun still shining off the windows of Anthony's Pier 4...

Another Bloggers Blog

It's gonna be cold tonight so I thought I'd put a picture of some palm trees I took in San Diego last October


Sometimes it's important to share a good post. My sister sent me a link to the Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster and well....It's important to read it

The Jello Shots were Great

Game 7 Celtics vs Lakers....we were ready

Minnie says...."Maybe Next Time"

Primal Update

For those who know me or live in close proximity, then you know,  I've quit smoking for nearly  2 months and been all about dieting, exercise and well making the cover of November's edition of Men's Health...We all have to have goals right??

I have been living on about 90% Primal Diet for about 8 weeks now

I Work out every other day

Just went down a waist size after dropping, conservatively, 18 pounds

No Bread, no baked goods, high protien and lots of big assed salads....I am sure I'll be approached soon for the cover of Men's Health or maybe MAD Magazine

Rainy Day

Looks like rain through the weekend, still even in the rain we can find things that make you smile.

Happy Monday

Happy Monday....


Even happier after that late night Celtics Victory in Los Angelas last night.

Rain early but spring is here and it's geting nice out....

By Wednesday of this week it will be sunny here on the East Coast and it will be raining in San Diego...

Celtics, St Patrick, Arks......

St Patty's Day is upon us and I'll be wearing the green at the Celtics game Wednesday night. I'm bringing a friend of mine who I don't see often enough. The last time we went to a game together was Game J in 1986 when Larry Bird and the gang trounced the Houston Rockets and won the NBA Championship.

Well the game Wednesday isn't quite as promising,  current Celtic team has been falling a bit flat lately,  but the company will be good and it is St Patrick's Day!!

In other NEWS!

The rain has finally stopped falling!! I was beginning to think the Mayans got it wrong and the world was ending now instead of December 21st 2012. Despite the fact that Peabody, Ma got over 8 INCHES of the wet stuff....... I never got to sign up for those Ark Building Classes and was beginning to regret it..But it stopped..

The Mayans are still on course...we got a good 20 months or so before were going to need  an Ark

Plenty of time to enjoy a couple Martinis and enjoy life...

Hope all is well in your world.

Another Busy Weekend

This past weekend was another one to remember...

With my daughter, her hubby and the kids it's always an increase in activity! The good kind that is. Seeing the kids always makes my day!!

 Anyway my oldest granddaughter wanted to do two things...see Avatar in 3d at the IMAX and go to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. So we set out on Saturday morning and went into the museum via the Train and Subway...

The day started with a dusting of snow but as is typical in New England...it warmed up to 50 degrees later in the day with bright sunshine and blue skies.

I found a picture by a guy named Renoir just hanging on the wall..

He's not bad!

We ate lunch at the museum and my poor daughter was fighting off a headache the whole day!! The screaching sounds on the subway brakes didn't help the much...but she was a trooper.

 and doing just what her daughter wanted to do...

We got back home rested up and went to AVATAR later that night.. I love that 3d stuff...it's so cool.

The kids hit the road on Sunday morn and around lunch I hooked up with a couple friends and headed to Gloucester to the Cape Ann Community Cinema . Before the show I had a delicious Bloody Mary topped with big tasty olives and a succulent large shrimp and fresh celery at Elliot's at the Blackburn. Across the street at the cinema, we watched a bunch of Cartoons from the 30's, 40's and 50's that were banned...some not even available for sale today here in the USA!? But you can buy them in Japan. The theater is filled with comfy couches, the popcorn was fresh and we were able to bring in our own wine to sip on during the show!!

Gloucester Inner Harbor Feb 21, 2010

Anyway it was a Boston to Gloucester weekend and I hope everyone had a good one...today I am getting my finger operated on and so it may be awhile before I can type!!

Smith Nation Comes To Town
