ADAM & ANDY is set in the fictional New England town of Woodfield, CT. You can learn more about this strip by visiting, adamandandy.com.
The creator of Adam & Andy posted a series of comic strips this week focused on Dillon – a young guy with a somewhat troubled past who recently has found solace at Adam & Andy’s and who also recently started dating their nephew.

Today is the last full day of 2018 Carnival. Although the weather started stormy it corrected itself and each day was a little more beautiful. For those leaving on the Saturday morning ferries, have an amazing time tonight with your friends.
Below are photos taken during Ptown’s annual Carnival Parade
Much thanks to my friend, Kyle Szary, who does a great job photographing the parade and the masses strolling up and down Commercial Street.

And one more photo that I swiped from Sergio’s Instagram feed. Miss Bubble Wrap was one of my favorite floats from this year’s Carnival Parade.
Next year’s 41st Provincetown Carnival will start on August 15 and conclude on August 25th with the parade on Thursday, August 22, 2019, and the theme will be Enchanted Forest so I fully expect to see all sorts of frisky woodland creatures and more than a few unicorns.
This week I thought I would feature my other half, Sergio Mazon, who in some ways serves as an inspiration for my weekly Furry Friday posts. The picture above captures his playful nature and is a personal favorite of mine.

I wouldn’t quite call myself an avid reader, but it is one of my favorite pastimes and something I do most nights before going to bed so this photo of the handsome actor Paul Sabala (a.k.a. the_thirsty_reader) seemed like an appropriate photo to share. It doesn’t hurt that Paul looks so good sitting in his bed with a book. Another upside to following Paul is that you can get some great book recommendations so consider following this furry bookworm.

With all the construction happening in and around the Ink Block you may not have realized that a comparable residential development sitting upon 3+ acres of land between Harrison Avenue and Albany Street is shaping up just a few blocks away. The new residential complex will include approximately 650 apartments, 80,000 square-feet of office space and 20,000 square-feet of retail. The project has been scaled back slightly from its initial proposal of including 710 units, which had also included 65 affordable units, but it will still stretch (as its name indicates) from Albany Street to Harrison Avenue.
This is just one of a handful of projects that have taken city planners by surprise and is forcing Boston to re-evaluate their infrastructure plans for the neighborhood. The city expected more commercial building but due to a tight housing market and lack of housing developers are constructing more housing. Let’s see if these prove to be anymore affordable than the developments currently underway just a few blocks up the street.
