Andrew ChristianWhatever the merits of Andrew Christian underwear, you have to have a body that looks like this to pull off using the garment as a hat. I will admit that blue is definitely his color.

Happy Anniversary Massachusetts

Same Sex MarriageNine years ago today Massachusetts became the first state in the United States to perform same sex marriage.  At the time, the majority of the country made a pariah out of “liberal Massachusetts” saying our state was making a mockery of the institution of marriage.

Fast forward nine years later and Massachusetts continues to have one of the lowest divorce rates of any state in the US and the majority of Americans now support same sex marriage.  Additionally, all six New England states now recognize and perform same sex marriage in addition to  Washington, D.C. and five other states. Much work remains, but the progress is undeniable.

Happy Anniversary to all those couples who got married nine years ago.

BosGuy brain teaser

Brain TeaserEach Friday morning I post a riddle to try to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain.

If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and try to figure it out together.  I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.

This week’s brain teaser: 

Race cars were racing on an oval track
Each driver was skilled, no speed did they lack.
The red car’s driver finished next to last
Even thought his car was really quite fast.
The blue car’s driver came in second place
Not a bad finish for just his first race.
When results were in, questions did arise
How did the red car received the first prize?

Like riddles? Check out past week’s brain teasers.
