Happy birthday Dad

DadI can’t believe that my father is turning 70 today. The older I get the more I appreciate and love my parents. I’m happy to say that my parents are healthy and enjoying life to its fullest spending time traveling, golfing and with family.

Sergio and I will be spending the afternoon up in Portsmouth, NH with family celebrating the milestone birthday today.

Happy Birthday Dad

Massachusetts will be home to nation’s largest medical marijuana facility

Yes on 4, legalize pot in MassachusettsThis past November Massachusetts residents voted to legalize marijuana for recreational use. Earlier this month Denver-based medical marijuana facility developer AmeriCann announced plans to build America’s largest medical marijuana facility in the country in Freetown, Massachusetts, which when completed will be an astonishing 1 million square feet.

The CEO of AmeriCann, Tim Keogh said he wants to make the Massachusetts Medical Cannibis Center “the place in the northeast U.S. for the creation of a wide variety of exciting new advanced products for medical cannabis patients.”

Despite the ongoing protestations of our Governor, Boston’s Mayor and our State A.G., economic opportunity appears to be the result of the decriminalization and legalization of marijuana. It would be great if marijuana medical research could be done here. I would think it would benefit from the world class medical research community that already calls Massachusetts home.

I’m sure Freetown and the surrounding communities will also benefit tremendously from the construction jobs this will create, the full time jobs the center will employ and the tax revenue it will generate for the town and state.  You can read the full article in the Boston Business Journal here.

George Michael dead at 53

george-michaelIt is so sad to write that it was reported earlier today that singer George Michael died at the age of 53. His publicist has said that he passed away while at home this afternoon.  Police say there were no suspicious circumstances.

George Michael had a string of infectious pop music hits that played a big part of my life. While I’ve not given him much thought recently, he holds a special place in my heart for all the memories his music has brought me over the years.

All I want for Christmas is You by Steve Grand

Steve Grand, ChristmasSteve Grand released this music video last Christmas and it is one of my favorite songs for the holiday. The video is also pretty easy on the eyes with Steve and Trevor canoodling through out.

Merry Christmas and thank you for stopping by to check out my blog.
