Still trying to figure out what you want to dress up as for Halloween? Ptown’s Spooky Bear Weekend has chosen a fun theme for their party at The Crown & Anchor. This looks like it would be hilarious and I’m sorry I won’t be there to see all these guys in their costumes.
More about Spooky Bear Weekend here
Will you be heading to Ptown for one of the many Halloween parties? Do tell.
Truthfully, I prefer showers, but whatever your bathing rituals are before you go out with your buddies is your business.
Have a great Saturday night.
I wonder if we will ever see the day.
I love this little girl and her enthusiasm and I’m betting you will too. Be sure to watch the video below because this will certainly put a smile on your face and give you a good laugh. Have a great Saturday morning. More about her performance here.
It is chilly here in Boston so hopefully this photo will help warm you up.
This is a photo of my current and past personal trainers (Kris and Stew). Stew happens to be this week’s Furry Friday.
Don’t you think Kris would make for a great Furry Friday?
If you work out at the Boston Sports Club in the South End, I’m sure you are familiar with these guys. Kris is a tad shy but quite a handsome guy. If you see him at the gym or around town encourage him to follow in the footsteps of his friend and colleague, Stew. If you don’t live in the area, leave some encouraging words in the form of a comment – you know both these guys will be checking this post to see what people say.
Stew was my first trainer at Boston Sports Club in the South End. He was the one who initially encouraged me to take my personal fitness more seriously. These pictures of Stew make me wish more black men didn’t shave their chests. 
Want to be featured as an upcoming Furry Friday? Let me know.

Tavola is an authentic Neopolitan pizzeria and pasta restaurant in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. Originally an Italian grocery store the original sign and some of the grocer’s shelves can be seen along the left wall when you first enter this long, rectangular restaurant, but my eye was immediately drawn to the massive wood burning oven at the far end that cooks the pizzas. I ended up chatting with the owner, Nick Accardi, who took over this restaurant about 18-months ago and he proudly told me about the restaurants history and why they are so passionate about the food they make.
I also had the chance to chat with the handsome Italian bartender who spends his days in Brooklyn as a struggling artist. This neighborhood restaurant is definitely worth crossing town to check out. Antipasti range from $8-13; pasta and entrees are $16-28; and the individual pizzas range from $10-19 — while the pastas all looked good, I knew I was going to order a pizza. After chatting with Nick I ordered a glass of Sangiovese and the Calebresa Bona which comes topped with Esposito’s hot sopressata, fresh ricotta, plum tomato and basil.
The thin crust is substantial enough to cradle the hot cheeses, meats and herbs that melted in my mouth. The salty toppings had just a bit of heat but nothing that would set your mouth on fire and I used a bowl of olive oil that Nick gave me to dip the crust of the pizza so when I was done there was hardly any evidence that a pizza was once there.
Do you like pizza? Are you in New York? Head over to Hell’s Kitchen, say hello to Nick or the friendly Italian bartender, Francesco and try their pizza.
Tavola’s is located at 488 Ninth Ave in Hell’s Kitchen.

Tonight the Boston Ballet opens with La Bayadère to kick off their 50th season. Sadly I cannot make it opening night but I want to wish them much success.

I know I’ve posted this before but it still gives me a chuckle. This kid’s expression is priceless and mimics my initial reaction. Way to go Dad.
