Back on the Acela today to head to NYC for a quick day of meetings tomorrow. I’m hoping that the rain which has been falling since the conclusion of the holiday weekend on Tuesday will finally relent.

I’m terribly flattered that people come to my blog and read and even occasionally leave comments. As you can deduce from my weekly #MenOfTwitter postings each Monday, I’m also a bit addicted to Twitter.
The interactive and quick nature of Twitter has allowed me to chat real-time with people who read my blog and I have to say so far its always been a very gratifying experience.
If you too are on Twitter, say hello and follow me. My handle is twitter.com/BosGuy.
The US Open started last week, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.
Today, I’m featuring Spanish tennis player, David Ferrer, who is currently playing yesterday’s “Tennis Tease”, Andy Roddick. David is currently ranked 5 in the world and has a game to back up that ranking.
Although Ferrer is definitely more at home on clay courts (lets be frank all the Spaniards are), David’s game is so strong you cannot count him out. However, whoever wins today’s match will have a short lived victory as I fully expect Raphael Nadal to pull through and meet that player in the quarter finals.

Last week I wrote about how many fantastic local theater companies there are in Boston in my post, 2011-12 season for local Boston theater companies. This week I wanted to encourage people to consider visiting and supporting the Boston Ballet. Many may not realize this but the Boston Ballet is considered one of the major ballet companies in North America and among the top companies in the world.
Ballet can sometimes be a tough sell for people unfamiliar with it, but it is an amazing dance form that beautifully blends athleticism and art. The Boston Ballet’s 2011-2012 season starts in just a few weeks with Romeo & Juliet (Nov. 3-13), followed by The Nutcracker (Nov. 25 – Dec 31).
To see their full season or to purchase tickets visit their website www.bostonballet.org.

Chris Nogiec lives in Boston and is currently pursuing a doctorate from Boston University in computational metabolism so he’s got looks and smarts. Although we don’t know each other, I featured him as a #MenOfTwitter back in April and we have a friend in common who speaks very highly of Chris.
Below is a behind the scenes video with Troy Phillips & Akimitsu Sadoi. While this 3-minute video pf Chris isn’t exactly unsafe for work, I think its too racy to play in the office; mind you Chris is modeling some very sexy underwear so use your judgement, but certainly enjoy the clip.
You can learn more about this handsome Bostonian on his website, here.

More than 2,300 subscribers have joined Boston’s bike sharing program called The Hubway combining for 36,600+ station-to-station trips in its first month according to an article in the Sunday Boston Globe.
Analysts say that within 3 months, the system could see 100,000+ station-to-station trips making it one of the most successful bike sharing programs in the country. By contrast similar programs of similar size in Denver and Minneapolis took 7.5 and 6 months respectively to reach the 100,000 trips milestone.
I will admit that its hard for me to go anywhere without seeing a number of people on these bicycles in the downtown neighborhoods. I hope that its popularity continues to grow, because I think its a fantastic concept. If they open a few more bike stations near my apartment I may opt to get rid of my aging bike and join the Hubway as well.
If you find yourself coming to Boston for a visit or a day trip, you may want to consider leveraging the Hubway as a less stressful and certainly more economical choice for getting around. With daily rates for $5 and 3-day memberships for $12 you are hard pressed to find a cheaper / better alternative.
The US Open started last week, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.
Today, I’m featuring American tennis player, Andy Roddick, who will be playing David Ferrer later today. Roddick is a former Top 10 player and won the US Open back in 2003. However, he’s 29 now and his game has slipped in recent years. Despite that fact, I can’t help but pull for Andy and hope he can beat Ferrer (the second highest ranked Spaniard). You can cheer on Andy tonight 7PM ET on ESPN2.

With the passing of the Labor Day weekend, summer officially ends here in New England. Although weather will likely remain beautiful through September, fewer people will be taking time off and vacation will be mostly referred to in the past tense. The academic calendar begins anew and here in Boston the student presence is difficult to miss.

The US Open started this week, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.
Today, I’m featuring a Bulgarian player named Grigor Dimitrov. Currently ranked 57, Grigor lost in the first round to the extremely physical Frenchman, Gael Monfils. However, he’s still quite young at only 20 years of age and he has time to improve his game. Time will tell if he can, but in the interim, I enjoy watching this young man play.

Each Monday I post #MenOfTwitter profiles of men who catch my eye and whom I think you may enjoy following. As always, suggestions for profiles to feature are welcome. If you’d like to follow me on twitter, you can find me @BosGuy. Below are this week’s #MenOfTwitter. Leave them a nice comment and start following these guys.
WillFennell – is the beauty/grooming editor for DNA magazine, owner of the Will and Peta skin clinic in Sydney Australia, author and blogger.Aussies may remember Will as the grooming guy on Aussie Queer Eye. I’ll remember him because he’s so damn sexy.He claims he also gives “the best ball wax ever”… the very thought horrifies me so I’m going to take him at his word. Look for his first book to be released later this year “Beauty Manual / Autobiography” A story of boy in a women’s world (the beauty business). Can’t get enough of this handsome guy from down under? In addition to stalking following him on Twitter you can check out his blog, www.willfennell.com.au#GroomingGuru
stekallee – Ste was born in Belgium, raised in Germany, but now calls the UK home and lives in Liverpool with his fiance, Paul. This guy has a heart of gold. Following in the footsteps of his mother, he works in autism care. Later next month he’ll be getting married (the precise term is registering as a civil partner – what a mouthful) and honeymooning with the love of his life, Paul who you can also follow on twitter @cheeky2xist. #HeartOfGold
IvanPutra – This 20-something born in Indonesia and raised in Houston, Texas is more than a handsome face.He’s currently in college studying Business and Marketing and a freelance model. He’ll be strutting his stuff for Danny Nguyen Couture in Houston later this month. If you are a modeling scout in Texas give Ivan a second look. #HandsomeTexan

The US Open started on Monday in New York City, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.
Today, I’m featuring French player Arnaud Clement, a former top 10 player. Arnaud is one of the older players on the tour now that he’s in his early 30s and in recent years he’s had more success playing doubles although he and Lukas Dlouhy unfortunately lost in the Open’s first round this year.

It seems to me that aside from health and happiness the thing people are most often short of is time. We make lists and check off each “to do”, and we schedule personal dates with friends and family much like business meetings; busily tapping these appointments into our iPhone, Droid or Blackberry.
As the average work day / week encroaches into what was traditionally personal or family time, it seems like we have started to adopt behaviors from our work life for our personal lives. I see many friends killing themselves to make the most of their time out of the office; scheduling every minute to run errands, see friends, etc…
So here we are in the midst of a long holiday weekend in the US. The weather in Boston is spectacular – warm but not hot, sunny but with puffy white clouds and I’m enjoying doing absolutely nothing. My major achievement of the day has been devouring a hot fudge brownie sundae at PICCO – a local restaurant all of two blocks from my home.
Have you scheduled yourself into oblivion this weekend? Is your check list of errands so long that you’ll need all three days to get through everything? I hope not because sometimes doing absolutely nothing ensures you’ll appreciate the time most.

The US Open started earlier this week in New York City, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.
Today, I’m featuring American tennis player and native New Yorker, James Blake. Unfortunately he lost to David Ferrer in 3-sets on Friday. However, he’s still quick and has a killer forehand, making him really fun to watch when his game is on.

The US Open started on Monday in New York City, and in honor of the Open, I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.
Today, I’m featuring the super tall Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro (nicknamed Delpo) who stands 6’6″. Currently ranked 18 in the world, he beat fellow countryman Diego Junqueira today to move on to the third round. I don’t expect Delpo to win the Open but he is a tough competitor. I love this photo of him tossing his shirt into the crowd. Not sure I’d fit into something that can fit his frame, but wouldn’t it be cool to have?
You can click on the photo to enlarge.

In September many of Boston’s local theater companies begin their 2011-2012 season. Many of these companies provide a more intimate setting than their counterparts in Boston’s theater district; and prices for shows are certainly more affordable. Here are a few local theater companies I hope you’ll consider supporting.
American Reportory Theater (A.R.T.) is technically in Cambridge and affiliated with Harvard University, but I’d be remiss not to include it. The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess is currently playing and received strong reviews. I’ve yet to see The Donkey Show in their Oberon theater, which is based on Shakespeare’s Midsummer Nights Dream and has performances every Saturday. To see the full 2011-2012 performance calendar or to purchase tickets, visit their website at, www.americanrepertorytheater.org.
