Marrying A Boston Girl.....

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties....

The first man had married a woman from Louisiana and bragged he had told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and house cleaning. He said it took a couple days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all done

The second man had married a woman from Florida. He bragged that he had given his wife orders to do all the cleaning, dishes and have a meal ready for him when he came home from work. On the first day he did not see any results, the next day things seemed to be better organized and by the third day his house was clean and he came home to the smell of a huge home cooked meal.

The Third man married a girl from Boston. He explained that he had told his new wife that he expected her to keep the house clean, the dishes cleaned, the laundry washed and folded and the lawn mowed. He said the first day he didn't see anything. On the second day there was no improvement, but by the third day most of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, enough to fix himself a bite to eat, load the dishwasher and call the landscaper.

Gotta love those Boston Girls !!


Got this in an email this morning (-:

Sun Sets on Marblehead

Of course the old joke here in Massachusetts for someone who might be a little slow on the uptake, a little dense, thick in the skull, a couple beers short of a six pack, has always been the reverse of the post title or "Light Dawns on Marble-Head"

But hey I was there last night and the sun sets are nice..



1. Sunset as seen through the tree!

3. Sundown and Clouds

Happy Halloween !!

Celtics are Back !!


Two Tom's Hideaway Team Members were lucky enough to get into the TD BankNorth Garden last night and see the NBA Champion Boston Celtics kick off their season 2008-09 Season, get their rings and ......



Raise the newest banner..for their 17th Championship !!



Did I mention that the Celtics Dancers/Cheerleaders were there??

Such Hard working Girls !!



And Kevin Youkilis from the Boston Red Sox was there, with the Cheerleaders !!



The Celtics "Lucky" took the hand-off from Youkilis and made the basket.



They didn't call a foul on #55 Wright as he was pulling the Jersey of his own teammate , Anderson Verajo, under the hoop.

The Celtics went on to win their opening game and let's hope they can have another great season this year !!


GO CELTS !!

No Ideas

That's about all I got lately. I've been drawing a complete blank lately and have had no inspiration whatsoever with regard to my blog. The weather has taken a turn for the better and after today I'll be outside scraping and painting so I can only hope that I will be inspired to come up with something of interest !! Currently I am addicted to Tetris on Facebook !!

The New England Patriots won yesterday...(-:

I got a 10 in Trivia today !!

Tampa Bay is losing to the Phillies...(-:

The Sun is shining, for now, and the Apocalypse isn't scheduled until 2012 so I have plenty of time to come up with something.

Have a great week !!

Fall at the Mall






My experiment in night photography has been touch and go. I snapped these from the parking lot at the North Shore Mall the other night. My Fuji Camera did not really come with any guides on the best way to use some of the features on my camera.

The top one is sorta fuzzy, but I liked the lightiong, the tree just looked like an orphan out there on the perimeter road, leaves falling off and all alone.

Red Sox vs Devil Rays.........continued GAME 7 !!

RED SOX WON!!

RED SOX WON!!


Hopefully TBS will have the complete broadcast as we had to listen to the first inning and a half due to technical difficulties.

Also I was worried when the announcers again started to concede the win to the SOX before the game was even over as they did during Game 5 at Fenway where the SOX made their historic come back ... I thought OH NO !! Now they are jinxing the SOX !!

But NO, we had theRed Sox MOJO all over the family room, old tickets, Red Sox Hats, Team Photos....Clearly the MOJO Magic is with the SOX

John Lester will pitch for the Red Sox in front of all the Tampa Bay Devil Ray fans that are now looking just a little sad and very worried.



GO SOX !!!

T.B.S. stands for Total Boston Success

7:30 Red Sox vs Rays


Steve is watching the game
He can't close his eyes!!

After an unbelievable comeback in the American League Championship Series, the Boston Red Sox are in St Petersburg to play the young Tampa Bay Devil Ray team with a chance to tie the 7 game series 3-3.

The Red Sox were all done, at least I thought so, as did many others that I spoke with, watching the game Thursday night in Fenway , the Red Sox down by 7 runs in the 7th inning, TBS running the credits , the announcers wondering how the Devil Rays will do against the Phillies , people filing out of Fenway.......

I went to bed !!

When I woke up the miracle had happened. The Red Sox pulled of the biggest comeback in ALCS history since 1929 !!

It's game time tonight at 7:30, I want to watch but being superstitious and all I am wondering if I should just go to bed early, for luck !!

GO SOX

A couple weeks ago I had posted a Poll asking people : If they had to choose, would they be an Alligator or a Tiger.

The Tiger was the clear choice of the majority. I am a fan of the Tiger myself and so yesterday I was a little disappointed when the Florida Gators whipped the LSU Tigers in College Football..It's ok though...I'd still choose to be a Tiger over an Alligator any day.



Alligators are part of the crocodile family, the crocodile has a wider snout and neither a re a match for the Tiger.
