Why should we care?

KardashiansEach weekend Sean over at Just A Jeep Guy blog posts a long series of weekly political / satirical cartoons.  Each week I peruse them and occasionally comment but this cartoon struck a nerve so I thought I’d swipe it and share.

Summer diets II

summer dietEarlier this month I wrote a post entitled, Summer diets.  My month of “no meat” continues without issue, and I’ve been successful in dropping a few pounds. However, I have to admit I’ve made a few late night decisions that resemble the above photo.

How are you doing? Are you working out or modifying your diet? I’m pretty public about my desire to get into better physical condition and appreciate everyone who has reached out to share their struggles and accomplishments.

Let me know how you are doing.

The Devil Came Up To Boston

Devil Came Up To BostonHere is a hilarious take on the Devil Came Down To Georgia. I suppose this is what would happen if the devil ever came up to Boston.  Love the song, but note that the F-bomb among other colorful language is laced throughout.

Special thanks to my friend (a New England transplant who actually now lives down in Georgia), Nancy Geery.

Summertime poolside recovery mix

DJ James Cerne who now lives in Los Angeles but is one of the founding FOXY Night DJs and promoters whom I’ve written about previously has a new mix he calls Summertime Poolside Recovery Mix.

The forty minute+ mix is bookended by Jacksons – Janet and Michael – and filled with 90s grooves from bands like  Soul II Soul.

Heading out tonight? Check out this mix while getting ready.

Flashback Friday

Flashback FridayLast week I featured the Boston Garden which you can see in this artist rendering of Boston by all the train tracks leading into North Station.   This “$110,000 highway in the skies” as the Boston Globe called it back in 1954 became obsolete decades ago and was replaced by the Central Artery Tunnel Project better known as the Big Dig.
