Bush speaks at conference “How to avoid paying US taxes”

Posted on November 2, 2012 | Leave a comment

President George W Bush was keynote speaker 1-November.

The conference subject matter: How to outsource your money to avoid paying US taxes.

Interesting that the condition of his speaking was a complete media blackout.  Would love media to ask Mitt Romney what he thinks about this.

ABOUT THE EVENT: Organizers of an investment conference in the Cayman Islands say they have been forbidden from disclosing any details about a speech by former President George W. Bush in the offshore financial haven, an event spokesman said Thursday.

The keynote speech by the former president is “totally closed to all journalists,” and conference organizers are forbidden from discussing any aspect of it even in general terms, spokesman Dan Kneipp said.

4-years later and I’m still ashamed he was my President

BosGuy brain teaser

Posted on November 2, 2012 | 10 comments

brain teaserEach Friday morning I post a riddle or brain teaser.  The idea is to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. Share with friends or coworkers if you cannot figure out the answer and together perhaps you can determine the answer.

Post your answers in the comments section, and I’ll confirm the correct responses after lunch to give everyone a fair chance.

This week’s riddle:  After teaching class about roman numerals (X = 10, IX=9 and so on) the teacher asked the class to draw a single continuous line and turn IX into 6. The only stipulation was the pen could not be lifted from the paper until the line was complete.

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

Halloween in the South End

Posted on November 1, 2012 | 2 comments

Boston HalloweenBoston’s South End neighborhood is an amazing place if you are of Trick or Treat age.  My neighborhood lacks the wild revelry in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and elsewhere, but I love the low-key fun of watching thousands of kids walking up to each Bowfront Victorian for candy.

As you can see, its not just the kids who really get into the spirit of the holiday.

Here are a few more photos of some of the people out and about in the South End for Halloween last night.  Click on the image to enlarge.

Part of our “Halloween tradition” which includes walking around part of the neighborhood is to stop by one particular home on Union Park Street because of their amazing pumpkin displays.  This year had a Dr. Seuss theme.  Below are photos of several of the Seuss O’Lanterns.  As with the collection of photos above, click on the image to enlarge. Much thanks to Sergio for taking all these fantastic photos.

Movember

Posted on November 1, 2012 | 2 comments

It is that time of year again.  During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. These men raise vital awareness and funds for men’s health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.

While I couldn’t grow a mustache in even 30-days, I encourage you to participate in Movember.  There is more information about the initiative at us.movember.com.

Romney: Federal Disaster Relief Spending Is ‘Immoral’

Posted on November 1, 2012 | Leave a comment

In light Hurricane Sandy, I wonder if those who are displaced believe Federal disaster relief efforts should be privatized like Romney suggests.

 Latest case of Romnesia: 6/13/11: Asked about federal disaster relief to recent tornado and flood victims, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney called the spending “immoral” and said disaster relief efforts should be privatized.

Hotel review: Westin New York Grand Central

Posted on October 31, 2012 | Leave a comment

Recently The New York Helmsley (or The Ol’ Bitch as I use to call it) was remodeled and reopened as The Westin New York Grand Central. As the name would imply, it is just blocks from Grand Central Station.

The new hotel has 774 guest rooms that are all beautifully updated and fairly spacious.  The Heavenly Bed the Westin brand promotes proved to live up to its name when I collapsed in my room after work.Westin HotelThe room includes a very functional desk business travelers will appreciate; complete with desk level outlets to charge your phone and laptop as well as a solid internet connection and plenty of desk space.Westin HotelWhile the bathroom isn’t luxurious, it certainly is sufficient and provides enough space for a quick visit. Westin NY Grand CentralThe Westin NY Grand Central is located off of 3rd Avenue at 212 East 42nd Street.  Its close proximity to my office and ample sized rooms ensures I’ll be returning to this new Starwood Hotel property.
