Making the case for Valentine’s Day

Posted on February 9, 2015 | Leave a comment

Making the case for Valentine's DayNot everyone likes Valentine’s Day which is later this week.  I can understand why some may not be all that enthusiastic about the holiday, but if I could make a wish, it would be that this fortune will become everyone’s reality.

If there is someone in your life whom you love – romantically or otherwise – let them know.  Valentine’s Day encourages you to verbalize what that friend, family member or special someone means to you; that is something  we could all get better at doing. Happy Valentine’s Day.

Dreaming of summer

Posted on February 8, 2015 | Leave a comment

Swan BoatsI’m a wimp. I had to get out of town to feel the warmth of the sun and forget about all this cold and snow.  For those who cannot get away, save this photograph which is posted on Boston.com’s Tumblr page.  Better yet, check out all the wonderful images people have submitted that remind you of how wonderful Boston is in the summer months <sigh>.

Marriott hotel may open at Ink Block in 2017

Posted on February 8, 2015 | 1 comment

Marriott at Ink Block South EndThe developers behind the South End Ink Block, National Development, recently unveiled an image of a proposed 200 room AC Hotel by Marriott, a brand that targets Gen X and Millennials.  According to National’s PR machine, the hotel will have a contemporary feel that will blend in with the four adjacent buildings.

Based on drawings that I’ve seen previously of the Ink Block development, the hotel building looks like it would be on the corner of Albany and Traveler Streets. The article (linked below) indicates this property would open in early 2017.

More details here.

I’m not a huge fan of the name of this product, but what they lack in creative branding they more than make up for with ingenuity.  I want one of these.

muscles, shirtless man, hunkHow I wish I had the discipline, genes and whatever else it would take to be this fit. But then I remember I like french fries and ice cream (but not at the same time because that would be gluttonous).

How are you surviving the winter

Posted on February 6, 2015 | 1 comment

how to survive a boston winterI hate to be a jerk to those who live in colder climates, but the winter weather will not be ending anytime soon.   To help you avoid a case of the winter blues, this past fall I wrote a five part series outlining how to survive a Boston winter.

Included in my list of tips were suggestions like, booking a trip to go some place warm; finding yourself a cuddle buddy; and tips on how chocolate can help. However it was my fourth tip in the series that I suggest you seriously consider and give a try: visit the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

Aside from the Gardner being a beautiful place, the museum has a tiny garden that has flowers and grass.  Sit by the courtyard (preferably on a sunny day) and let the sunlight filter down to the ground level.  Enjoy the smell of the grass and flowers, and look at all the colors.  Trust me when I tell you this is some of the best therapy you can get in Boston to fend off a bad case of the winter blues.

Furry Friday

handsome, hunk, shirtless guy, moustacheI posted this photo because it reminded me so much of Tom of Finland.  I’m fairly certain if any of those illustrations were to come to life they would look exactly like this super machismo (not to mention retro looking) hunk.

BosGuy brain teaser

Posted on February 6, 2015 | Leave a comment

Gizmodo, brain teaserSince I am away and am not sure what sort of access I will have to the Internet I thought I would share this interesting image, which if you view  it quickly, might appear to be an eye but upon closer inspection is obviously not.

Gizmodo published an article a while back entitled 20 optical illusions that might break your mind.  In my opinion they get a D- for their title but several of the images are pretty trippy and worth checking out if you like this sort of thing.

Like riddles? Check out past week’s brain teasers.
