“Two pillow napper”
Published in 1968 by Greenleaf Classics I can’t help but wonder what happens to the family jewels.
Much thanks to my sister, Susan, who shared this local news story from earlier this week, and bonus points to whoever works the headlines at WMUR-TV in New Hampshire because this was easily the best thing I read on Monday.
According to the story, that you can read here, Eric Stagno, 34, of Haverhill, MA, walked into the Plaistow, NH Planet Fitness and removed his clothing before settling in on the yoga mats. He was arrested without incident and was charged with indecent exposure/lewdness and disorderly conduct. However, the best part of the story IMHO is Stagno’s only statement where he said he thought Planet Fitness was a “judgment-free zone,” referencing the chain’s slogan.
The Boston Sun reported the amount of development allowed along the Harrison-Albany Corridor in the South End has far exceeded what had been planned, and it is forcing them to revisit the traffic and infrastructure models put into place in 2012.
The Quinzani’s project, the Harrison Albany Project and the 345 Harrison project (which is now open) were all projects that took the City by surprise. Those projects combined, resulted in 32% more development than had been anticipated in 2012, and account for approximately 1,900 new apartment / condominium units. The crazy thing is that figure doesn’t even include the 250 unit building that the Ink Block announced earlier this month called The Ollie on the corner of Albany and Herald Street. That is a lot of development for what essentially is a 6 block corridor at the edge of the South End.
I loved Robin William so I thought I’d use this opportunity to pay tribute to him with this week’s Men in Kilts post. If he were still alive he would have turned 67 years old this weekend on July 21st.

As someone who grew up in the 1980s, I never would have imagined that the hawkish Republican Party would become the party of Russia.
To quote my friend and blogger from Seduced By The New, “Praise Allah”. Much thanks for the inspiration for this week’s Saturday morning coffee blog post.
