Today’s word is Yummy. To make this easier I’ll use pictures to help with pronunciation of this very tricky word with a myriad of meanings.
yum·my/ˈyəmē/ – ADJECTIVE1. Delicious: “this is so yummy I could eat all of it”
2. Highly attractive and desirable: “I picked up this yummy guy”
Hmm… I wonder which one applies here.

Last week a poll taken by the Western New England University Polling Institute reported that Elizabeth Warren is now leading the Republican incumbent, Senator Scott Brown.
The lead is attributed to Warren’s prominent speaking role at the Democratic National Convention (DNC). The lead would be welcome news to Warren and her supporters since prior to the DNC polls showed she was trailing Senator Brown.
What can I say? I’m a denim lovah.
Later this week, on Thursday – September 20th to be precise, the South End will welcome a new business to the neighborhood. The Urban Grape will open a second location at 303 Columbus Avenue between Clarendon and Dartmouth Streets.
This wine shop, which has called Chestnut Hill home, first leaked they would be opening a second location earlier this year. In recent weeks they have been sharing photos of the progress inside.
I have one thing to say to The Urban Grape, “Cheers!”
I almost never travel in the summer. I wait all year for New England’s summer days filled with sun and warmth. However, with summer now a thing of the past, my mind turns to travel. It has been a few years since my last visit to Brazil, but plans are in the making to rectify that.
Eu tenho saudade Brasil.
Yesterday was the 23rd Boston Freedom Rally. This annual event has grown in popularity and the 2012 event on the Boston Common attracted more than 50,000. I made my annual trek to the event to walk around and people watch. There was a definite haze of smoke from the tens of thousands who were lighting up, but the crowd was friendly and subdued (with the exception of the speakers). It always strikes me as funny how these impassioned speakers try to rile up a stoned crowd.
Most appeared to be enjoying a beautiful day outside with their friends. Aside from the speakers, the festival included many items for sale, live music and of course plenty of food for everyone to fend off munchies.
This is the streaker who got away.
Not only is he athletic but he’s playful too.
However, before this game of peek a boo continues someone needs to take a bath. Where’d I put the soap.
Kristin Chenoweth is adorable teasing Anderson Cooper about his summer. Her cute comments result in Anderson addressing his decision to come out (again) this past summer.

The South End Open Studios starts today and runs through Sunday from 11am – 6pm each day.
This is a great free event that brings thousands into the neighborhood so arrive early if driving so you may get parking. Most of the galleries (but not all) can be found between Waltham and Berkeley Streets on Washington Street and Harrison Avenue.

The work week is officially ovah… O-V-A-H!
Designer Ben Pawle has developed a one-handed condom wrapper. I can’t imagine why it has taken this long to come up with such a sensible design.
His website says, “his condom addresses the need for newly sexually active young adults to avoid embarrassment when trying to don a ‘dom” Whatever the reason, it makes sense. Now it would be great if condom manufacturers would use this packaging.
September weather has continued to be warm and sunny making it easier to say good by to summer and hello to autumn. For sure the days are shorter but with weather like this who is going to complain?
For those new to Boston or with travel plans that will bring you here I wanted to share this BosTongue (LargeTony thought of that term) phrase, which you may be inclined to hear on days like this.
Wicked Gawjus refers to any weather above 70 degrees and below 85 degrees that has low humidity and plenty of sun. I would suggest you repeat the phrase out loud on your own a few times and practice using it in a sentence so you will be believable when you use it. For example…
I just picked up a 6-pack at Jimmy’s cornah packie, and now I’m heading down to Castle Island to drink ’em cuz its so wicked gawjus.
