Last month DanNation blog posted this photo, and I immediately thought this would make for an ideal Temptation Tuesday post. Did I miss the mark or are you feeling tempted. I certainly am.
The Commonwealth Shakespeare Company (CSC) free production of William Shakespeare’s play, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, started this past weekend and runs through July 28th.
Free performances run from July 6 – 28

About The Two Gentlemen of Verona: Believed to have been written in 1590 or 1591, this comedy is considered by some to be William Shakespeare’s first play. The play deals with the themes of friendship and infidelity, the conflict between friendship and love, and the foolish behavior of people in love. More about the play may be read here.
I place no credence in unscientific surveys, but I do find them a lot of fun to read so of course I enjoyed Travel and Leisure’s recent survey that found Boston the third snobbiest city in the US.
Placing Boston after San Francisco (ranked the snobbiest city in America) and New York City, the magazine said visitors may “detect a certain air of superiority”. Oy vey, that can be so true! Fortunately, I’ve found a great group of friends who don’t take themselves too seriously and are warm and friendly. My hunch is there is a direct correlation to the wealth of a city and the “snob” level of a city.
You can see the full list of “Snobby Cities” here.
Starting next month the Os Gemos mural in Dewey Square will come down. Initially put up in July of 2012, the mural is now withering and fading so officials have decided it’s time for something new.
Charlie McCabe, director of public programs for the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, said to Boston Magazine last month,“We are looking to either remove it or replace it sometime in the fall…We are hoping to announce what the new project on the structure will be by August.”
Stay tuned for more details to follow…
Having trouble waking up this morning? You sipping a cup of joe to help you wake up? Maybe you’ll find this quick video from Conde Nast Entertainment interesting.
Sad that the weekend is over?
Perhaps this guy’s picture can put a smile on your face.
I’m in upstate NY visiting friends this weekend so my weekend posts are mostly going to rely upon eye candy. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess most of you won’t mind.
Sleep in guys and enjoy the day.
Friends don’t let friends wear socks with sandals.
The Superhero Quiz asks a series of questions and based on your response it calculates which Superhero you would be. Apparently I am most like Spider-Man. Have you seen this and answered the questions? It’ll take two minutes. Let me know which Superhero you would be.
Saturday morning in Provincetown = Spooning
Do as Mary Poppins says and take your medicine. It’ll make your Friday far more pleasurable. I’ll do just as Ms. Poppins suggests -well perhaps I’ll have a tad more than a spoonful; tea dance at the Boatslip is calling me.
Not all flashback posts are all that old. This is what Commonwealth Avenue looked like just five months ago.
