How BosGuy got his fitness groove back

absIt has been a looooooong time since I’ve talked about the gym.  I can assure you that I’ve been going but not with the regularity or passion that I normally do.  I blame it on that Polar Vortex crap.

However this past week I’ve been able to get my fitness groove back.  I’m hoping that I can maintain that commitment since February is Boston’s second cruelest month (sorry January, but I’m not a fan).  For those of you suffering a severe case of winter doldrums, take heart that the days are getting longer and with any luck, warmer too so get to the gym.

More public art coming to Boston’s Greenway

Boston Greenway Public ArtJesse Brackenbury, the next leader of Boston’s Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, said last week that he wants to significantly increase the presence of public art and other new features in the downtown park network. My response, “Most excellent. Let’s do it.”

The quote and image atop this post is from the Rose Kennedy Greenway’s Public Art on the Greenway: A Five Year Strategy 2013-2017.   The Greenway’s vision for this work (according to their website) is to bring innovative and contemporary art to Boston through free, temporary exhibitions on the Greenway that engage people in meaningful experiences, interactions and dialogue with art and each other.  I won’t wax on about the potential here – I’ll keep my trap shut (for now). Want to learn more about this? Check out the Greenway’s Public Art Program web page, here.

Public Service AnnouncementPlease note this helpful BosGuy P.S.A. that reminds you not to blow dry your bits. This is considered more than a tad reckless and something nobody wants to witness in a gym locker room.

Scotland says “I do” to marriage equality

scotland marriage equalityScotland’s first same-sex marriages are set to take place later this year after the Scottish parliament voted to pass the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Bill by a margin of 105-18 earlier today.

Let’s face it men in kilts are sexy and when you have two men in kilts it is twice as sexy so it looks like marriage just got a whole lot more sexy.  Apparently, Timberlake isn’t the only one bringing sexy back. More information about Scotland’s landmark vote here.

For the record, Sergio and I must be a cliche.  We live in the part of Boston noted as: “The Gays, The Brunch and Darn Good Roast Chicken. Kudos to Gordon for getting the shout out about his chicken.

What part of the map is your favorite? I loved the shout outs to various chefs and restaurants.  If you like this or would like to see how URBANE maps your home city check out their page here.

Which Disney princess are you most like

Disney Princess quizAre you looking for a distraction today? Have you tried the online quiz that determines which Disney Princess you are most like? It is pretty fun and takes just a few minutes.

Apparently I’m most like Snow White.  Not sure if that is true, but I’ll take it because I love anyone who can surround themselves with 7 men and ends up with a tall, dark and handsome prince.

Take the quiz and let me know who you most resemble
